Residents could pay for own GP surgery

RESIDENTS could pay for their own medical centre to bring a long-awaited scheme to fruition.

A bid to build a GP surgery in Wivenhoe has suffered a series of set-backs in the last ten years, most recently a funding shortfall.

But town councillor Neil Lodge has suggested residents - through the parish precept part of council tax - could stump up the extra cash or even pay for the whole development.

Why don't the doctors pay for it themselves? GPs have plenty of money, and could very easily raise whatever mortgage is needed.
