Some information about upcoming roadworks around Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital ⬇️

ADVANCE NOTICE FOR PATIENTS/VISITORS - LOCAL ROADWORKS

We have been informed that essential electrical cabling works will be undertaken on Queens Drive and Thomas Drive, involving lane closures and traffic controls outside the hospital site.

These extensive works will be carried out by the contractors in a staged way, beginning on Wednesday 23rd July and to be completed by 5th November.

During this period, some travel disruption in the surrounding area of the hospital site (eg Broadgreen and Childwall) is inevitable with delays and queuing traffic anticipated.

Considerations:
* Please allow extra journey time when attending appointments on the hospital site and/or when visiting relatives.

* Please plan your journey accordingly.

* We understand that no public transport timetable changes or route changes have been planned so far.

With hot weather across the North West this weekend, make sure you stay hydrated.

Dehydration means your body loses more fluids than you take in, and children and older adults are more at risk.

If it's not treated, it can become a serious problem.

With an amber heat alert issued across England, remember that vulnerable people are more at risk from higher temperatures.
