Good morning everyone and wishing you all a Happy 2026.

This is an information post for all patients who attend St Cuthbert’s church hall for their weight and wellbeing appointments.

From next week (12th Jan) building work will be commencing at St Cuthbert’s Church. Therefore parking restrictions will be in place. A system has been set up to ensure fair and safe access to all users.

Parking spaces will be limited and not guaranteed. If spaces are available you may gain access but you must show your appointment reminder text to the building contractors on site at the main gates.

We recommend allowing extra time to attend your appointment to allow time to find alternative parking if required.

Please ensure you park within the spaces available and remain respectful and courteous towards all staff and fellow users at all times .

Many thanks for your support and look forward to supporting you through 2026
