Improvement Works to the Front Boundary Wall
From Tuesday 24 March 2026, improvement works will be taking place on the front boundary wall at Grosvenor Medical Centre on Upper Grosvenor Road. The work is expected to last for approximately two weeks.
The pavement outside the practice will remain accessible throughout, although it may be slightly narrower than usual. Please take extra care when approaching the building.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while these improvements are carried out.
