Colchester: Site sold off in new homes deal

The Severalls Hospital site and Turner Village will be handed over for development as part of a groundbreaking deal.

Low-cost homes for key workers, such as nurses, police and teachers, will be built on surplus NHS land across the country.

The land will be transferred to the Government in a deal officially announced by deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and health secretary John Reid.

The Colchester land will form part of the planned development of 460 homes, a primary school and a health centre.

Money raised from the sale of the site will be re-invested in the NHS.

A spokesman for Essex Rivers Healthcare NHS Trust which runs Colchester General and Essex County Hospital welcomed more investment in the NHS.
