Davyhulme Practice On Broadway
Topic posted by Mark... dated:28 October 2007
After reading about the decision to build the new Practice on Broadway has anyone asked the patients about this location.

Just seems if you are an elderly person who currently lives near the present doctors it will be a heck of a trek to this new one.

Who were the people consulted over this?

Sounds like the patients weren’t

Change in ownership is the building not the practice. Contact the Practice Manager to moan about waiting times. Or tell the doctor to get a move on next time you go - I dare you!

Do you think the change in ownership will help cut waiting times?? On my last two visits I've waited more than 30 mins, and on my last visit I cancelled because I knew there were still 3 people ahead of me in the queue and I needed to go and pick my son up. Really poor.

Bendy the link is working but the main bit is:

A GREATER Manchester medical centre has changed hands as part of an £11.8m deal.
AH Medical Properties has bought Davyhulme Medical Centre, which opened earlier this year, from Sapphire Primary Care Developments, which was a subsidiary of Lloyds Pharmacy. AH also swooped for other properties in Rugeley, Staffordshire, Didcot, Oxfordshire, and Kincaidston, Ayr, as part of the same transaction.

Does it matter one bit, I ask myself?

Hi PinkyPorky the link is broken - was it in the Manchester evening News?  As a patient there it would be nice to know these things!

So that's the building and not the practice.

I heard today that the Broadway Practice has been sold to a foreign company, does anyone know if there is any truth in this or is it just rumour.

I live a couple of roads away and can't honestly say that the change of use to a day nursery would bother me. However, as already pointed out, the number of cars dropping children off and picking up could potentially cause a problem. It is already bad coming out of/into Abingdon Road due to inconsiderate drivers parking right on/near to the corner of Canterbury Road - I am surprised there hasn't been a smash there yet!

I don't really mind what happens with this site, as I don't live close by. However, the application states that there will be 60 children there from 9 months to 7 years (these numbers are contraticted on various pages of the application as the covering letter states different numbers), which sounds to me like quite a lot of children, and quite a variety of ages?

I could well understand somebody objecting if 60 kids were playing outside at lunch times. However, it seems to suggest of max. of 10 children would be outside at any one time. However 60 cars picking up/droping off children would create quite a bit of traffic...

Noise from kids playing during the day, get real. Is it any wonder the place is going to the dogs!! The sound of NURSERY aged kids having fun is in no way intrusive and should not be under planning laws, it is a disgrace that people are so narrow minded that the don't like to hear the noise of laughter and fun?? We are talking about 2-5 year old children having fun and there are people out there that want to stop that??? The house next door to me is on the market come and build a nursery there I will enjoy listening to the honesty of children having fun and playing their games. They will be supervised at all times by qualified people, tending to their every needs, try living near Old Trafford or outside a Factory like Simpsons that is noise that intrudes on daily life, and that is louder than any nursery. We are not talking about an infant school or the like but a private nursery where children are taught and looked after and part of that is learning through play.
Lets leave them to roam the streets and disengage the kids earlier than teenagers now!!!
Finally, what difference does the fact the investor at Canterbury Road is Irish make.
Some people.

There is no requirement for any consultation here, other than on the aspects of the planning application itself (outdoor play area, change of windows etc).

Both Clinics/ Health Centres and Day Nursery fall under Planning Class D1 (Non residential institutions). Therefore an objection cannot be made on the basis of change of use - but can be on the technical aspects of the changes to the exterior of the building.

Yes Hazel. Trafford will have to consider noise levels created by children playing in such close proximaty to residentual dwellings. Not sure what parking facilities are being provided, but a family member of mine has told me that neighbours have problems with their staff parking outside residents houses every day.

Yep - just found the planning application - H/70406. Does this mean they will have to consult the neighbours with regards having a certain number of children playing outside at any time as it is surrounded by houses?

The old surgery is being turned in to a kids day nursery by an Irish investor.

Not old enough to remember that Eric
;-) but I do remember it being amalgamated. Asked my Mum today, she couldn't remember when it happened, but she thought late 70's. However I do hope that the waiting times will be reduced in the waiting room. I was under Dr Lang-Sadler and on a number of occasions I was forced to wait nearly 2 hrs for my appointment. Thats why I like Primrose ave so much. The longest I have ever waited was ten mins.

Gill, The Davyhulme Road Surgery was part of Canterbury Road Surgery.
I visited both Surgeries but I was registered at Canterbury Road.

GillianP, I have never been to any other practice in the whole of my 78 years. I seem to remember my parents had to pay for treatment in those days and it was possible to attend a Saturday night Surgery.
In 1943 Dr. Basil Lee visited me at home, the other Practice Doctor was Benjeman Flacks.
I'm looking forward to the new Practice opening, after all its still in Davyhulme.

I have been registered at Canterbury Road surgery since 1969 - Dr. Makin was my GP until she retired. Does anybody remember her ?

Not confusing it at all GillianP. There was a practice on Davyhulme road just past the Laburnam junction. This merged in the 70's with the canterbury road practise. I know this cos I had to help my mum from the davyhulme road one when she had her ears syringed one day. I remember her being annoyed at having to travel to canterbury road when ours merged. At least the new practise has bus stops both ways right outside., and better parking facilities. Dont think I will be swapping mine tho, I like it at Primrose ave.

I'm sorry Gill but I think you might be confusing the Practice with another. I was born into the practice in the mid-sixties (as was my sister in the mid-fifties) and it was on Canterbury Road then with Dr Lee in charge. My parents registered with it in the early-1950s when it was just a semi. Dr Lee certainly was the GP who cared for my Grandmother when she was dying in 1962. We have also had the opportunity to place our comments on the move at the practice and, as far as I am aware, all existing patients will be transferred directly unless they wish otherwise. It is a shame it is having to move as I would much prefer it to remain where it is as it is nearer to me, however the practice wants to expand it's available treatments and there is simply no room to do so.

My mum lives on Bent Lanes and there is occasionally a smell from the treatment plant. But if you live close to the place you get used to it as my mum can't smell it unless its really bad!!

I notice that the Practice on Canterbury Road now has a SOLD sign on it. Does anyone know who's bought it? and whether it has been bought for a business?

Guess what? no sooner than someone mentions a smell round here and I go defending the place - than a pong appears!! I really do not know what it was - may have been the sewer works or just smelly fireworks - but there has been a definate odour in the surrounding area over the last day or so. It is definatly out of the ordinary as I can smell it quite strongly!

Hmmm you must have sensitive noses. I can never smell it - even if I have been away. I always smell far worse when I drive thru Lymm and the farmers have been spraying!!

JD, you and other people selling up have just lost thousands of pounds off the price of their houses in Davyhulme due to you broadcasting how bad it is, also the housing market is slowing down

Gill,
I went to the retail park on Sunday and it was awful even the people working in the shops were complaining. I used to live off Bents Lanes in the 60s and eventually ended up in Flixton and it used to pretty ripe then but on Sunday it was foul, I don't think it is as bad if you live there simply because you get used to it and ignore it.

Steak - you trying to say Davyhulme stinks??? I have lived here for 30 yrs and only ever smell it when the weather is muggy - smells far worse going past some factories in Trafford park.
