'The visual damage and decline of the building is infuriatingly apparent.'
The building was found to be in awful condition An abandoned former hospital had become a ‘hub for antisocial behaviour’, with people using drugs and defecating throughout the property, before police made the decision to close it for good. The building was used during both World War I and World War II as a military hospital, but has been vacant for several years.
‘What was once a very lovely home and subsequent business premises is now in a general state of disrepair and has the potential to cause serious injury and/or loss of life to those using the building and residents of the adjoining retirement housing complex,’ he said. Local police have issued a full closure order on site, which means that the land and the property is closed to everyone except landowners, contractors, and the emergency services.
