Care home planned for former Anchor site
PLANS have been unveiled to build a care home on the site of a former pub- but have already been labelled as a missed opportunity.
The future of the former Anchor site in Station Road, Yiewsley, is considered one of the most important issues to affect the area, which is in need of re-generation.
A planning application has been lodged with Hillingdon Council, to build 49 new flats, as part of a care home, which will also have a retail unit underneath.
Computerised images are available of how the flats would look, which can give the public a chance to visualise the plans.
Gay Brown, of Otterfield Road, Yiewsley, said: "This is a totally inappropriate place to put a nursing home.
"The plans are to demolish the existing building, but I can't see how they can demolish something which is already demolished.
"The site would be perfect to link the two town centre's of Yiewsley and West Drayton.
"We need a meeting place and we do not have that, it would be perfect, I will be objecting to the proposals."
The site is currently vacant after the Club7 pub closed, and after it caught fire in May earlier this year, it was largely demolished and currently creates a huge eyesore in a key location in town.
