THE plans for the £20m Bracknell Healthspace were approved by councillors last night (Thursday).

The centre, which will replace the existing Skimped Hill Health Centre in Skimped Hill Lane near the town centre, will be an alternative to A&E for minor injuries as well as offering a range of other health services.

The application was submitted by developer Ashley House, which has been working with the Primary Care Trust (PCT) NHS Berkshire East.

But concerns have been raised that the proposed 43 car parking spaces at the health centre will not be enough.

Councillors at the meeting were told that a car management plan would be considered at a later date.
