PATIENTS could soon benefit from an even wider range of services at one of the area's biggest health practices after councillors agreed its expansion.

Last Thursday (February 11) members of Redbridge Council's Regional Planning Committee West gave permission for an empty single storey building to the rear of Lily House, in The Shrubberies, George Lane, South Woodford, to be demolished.

In it's place, a two-storey buildings containing a number of consulting rooms and offices will be built.

The surgery already offers a range of medical practitioners to patients, including GPs, psychiatrists, osteopaths, hypnotherapists and nutritional therapists.

The building's owners hope that the extra space will allow them to offer a greater range of services to the public.
