Work starts on additional parking spaces at Amman Valley Hospital


Thanks to the support of Amman Valley Hospital’s League of Friends, an additional 16 car parking spaces will be created at the rear of the hospital site, adjacent to the main car park, to help ease parking pressures.
Work will be completed by Friday 14 April.
The 16 car parking spaces include two disabled bays.
In addition to the new parking bays, the League of Friends are also supporting improvement works to the hospital driveway and the installation of a new security access barrier to the main hospital car park.
Arwel Davies, Honorary Treasurer of the Amman Valley Hospital League of Friends said: "We are delighted to be supporting such an important development at Amman Valley Hospital to improve facilities for visitors and staff at the site. We are contributing over £100,000 to this development thanks to a legacy left to us from the late Mrs Gwenllian (Gwennie) Morgan of Tircoed Road, Glanamman."
Patients and visitors to the hospital are being advised of temporary disruption and access restrictions while the works are carried out.
The main hospital entrance will be closed and traffic diverted to the hospital’s side entrance via Tircoed Road, Glanamman, over two consecutive weekends in early April – more details will follow nearer the time.
Sister Catrin Madge, from Amman Valley Hospital, said: “We would like to express our deep gratitude to the League of Friends for this extremely generous donation, which has been made possible thanks to the legacy of a local woman, Mrs Gwennie Morgan of Glanamman.”
