Final chance to comment on plans for a new Frimley Park Hospital
Overview
A 17-week public engagement exercise regarding plans to rebuild Frimley Park Hospital at a new location is coming to an end. The current hospital building contains reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) across two-thirds of its structure. The proposed replacement site is on 55 acres of land including Pine Ridge Golf Club and surrounding woodland. While the NHS trust highlights the need for modern facilities and safer buildings, local campaigners and MPs have raised concerns regarding traffic, infrastructure, environmental impact, and the loss of recreational community space.
