The former maternity unity has been sold, subject to contract, for a possible housing development.
According to the website of property experts Fisher German a sale has been agreed for the site which sits on half an acre off New Road and Gravel Hill, Ludlow.Health campaigner Gill George of Defend our NHS in Shropshire says the sale of the maternity unit is not a surprise as it was closed in 2016 and is in a state of disrepair.
Ms George, who lives in Ludlow, is also concerned about what may happen on the rest of the site. She says staff have contacted her with worries over what may happen next. Ms George said a proposal to close the site back in 2017 lead to the"biggest public meeting in the history of Ludlow"."They were queuing round the block. People were mobilised to fight then and you could feel the anger in the room.The property agent marketing pointed out that the former maternity unit forms part of the Ludlow Hospital site, the"balance of which shall be retained".
Marketing documents reveal that pre-application discussions were held with Shropshire Council for the proposed conversion of the maternity ward building for a residential use with associated operational works.
