Hearing and Sight Centre settled in new home

Posted on 8th Sep

The Hearing and Sight Centre moved premises in April and is now based within the main Guild Centre in Ernest English House in Buckwell Street. This central location provides improved access as it is within a short distance of city-wide bus routes, the railway station and bus depot. There is disabled and metered parking available.
Grace Mole the Hearing and Sight Centre Manager said "It is great to be co-located with other Guild services who are also easily accessible by our Centre users.
