A Hull care facility is in line for a prestigious national planning award.
The Jean Bishop Integrated Care Centre has been shortlisted for this year’s RTPI Awards for Planning Excellence.
It is in line for recognition in the Excellence in Planning for Health and Wellbeing category.
Councillor Daren Hale, Hull City Council’s portfolio holder for planning, said: “Being shortlisted for such a prestigious planning award is suitable recognition for this fantastic facility, which would be a worthy winner of the award itself I am sure.
“Congratulations should go to all involved with the planning of this revolutionary care centre, which has changed the lives of so many of the city’s more vulnerable residents.”
The facility, opened in 2018 by Hull’s “Bee Lady” Jean Bishop, has already won awards for improving the lives of the city’s older people.
