Hey, guess what’s happening in Rathfriland? They are building a medical village on Newry Street, 87-95. It will have a lot of stuff in it!
This village has many planned parts. There’s a medical center. It has a GP surgery inside. You can also find a pharmacy and a dentist. Expect physio, podiatry, and optometry services.
The village also includes a nursing home. It will have 140 bedrooms. Next, there are four retirement homes planned. Add to that fourteen assisted-living apartments. Five townhouses will also be built. They will make lots of parking spaces too.
The MJM Group is building everything. They sent in a plan for construction. Part of this plan involves taking buildings down. Numbers 89, 91, and 95 Newry Street will go.
They had to meet a big requirement first. They needed to create a construction plan. Planners had to approve this plan in writing. The builders must follow it completely.
The plan stated where workers and visitors will park. It showed the routes for construction trucks. It described cleaning mud off the road. It also showed where the soil pile went. They will manage dust problems on site. Trucks can turn around easily as well.
The planning group is now satisfied. The builders met the first condition. They approved the construction management plan at last.
The medical village got approval back in 2020. Approval came with some strings attached. They have already met some requirements.
Cars will park on the site grounds. Parking will be behind the church. Back Road leads into the center of the site. This is the main construction route. They will create a turning zone.
Workers and visitors must use certain paths. There are routes for walkers and for vehicles. They will point vehicles to the areas where they can turn and park.
A person will guide vehicles when backing up. Trucks must use the tire washing station. This stops mud on public roads. They will sweep the road if needed.
They must fix exposed soil quickly after work. This helps the ground. They will stop water if run-off seems likely. They will watch piles of soil for dust. They will spray roads when it’s too dry.
