A new £1.25m medical centre has opened its doors in Gelligaer.

The two storey building, at Penallta Road, was built by construction firm Opco and developers LSP Developments on behalf of the Aneurin Bevan Health Board and backed by the Welsh Government.

The 45-week project, which developers say was completed on budget and on schedule, involved the demolition of a primary school and the construction of the new 10,075 sq ft surgery and medical centre.

Opco regional director Nigel Coulter said: “We’re proud to have worked with LSP Developments to construct this modern medical centre for the Aneurin Bevan Health Board, the Welsh Government and the wider community of Gelligaer.

“Opco, through successful delivery of this project, is rapidly becoming a recognised specialist in the design and construction of centres of this sort and gaining ever wider respect for its expertise in the niche sector.”

Dr John Holland, lead GP at Gelligaer and Gilfach surgery, said: “The surgery team is delighted with this crucial building project, which will benefit the community at large.

This development will support the expansion of healthcare in the area for decades to come.”
