A HOSPITAL entrance will be closed for six weeks while refurbishment work takes place.

Work started on Monday at Leighton Hospital's outpatients department.

It includes the replacement of the current automatic doors as well as improvements to the lobby’s heating, lighting and aesthetics.

During the works access to the main waiting area will be by the physiotherapy entrance, located in the same courtyard as the main outpatients entrance. This entrance will be available from 7.30am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and from 7.30am to 4pm on Fridays. Outside of these times, access to outpatients will be via the hospital’s main entrance.

The nearest alternative parking paystations are in the main entrance and maternity outpatients.

All diversions will be clearly signposted throughout the duration of the works.
