The contractor has signed a PCSA with Delamere Health to prep the plot for a new 32-room residential treatment centre billed as the UK’s biggest investment in addiction rehabilitation.

Demolition of the old fire HQ is due to start before Christmas ahead of a full build contract expected early next year.

Designed by Anderson Orr, the new clinic will feature a wellness suite, gym, steam room and sauna, meditation spaces and dedicated therapy rooms arranged around landscaped courtyards.

Ray O’Sullivan, regional managing director at Caddick Construction Midlands, said the team was working with Delamere to build a cost and build programme that will deliver the largest investment in an addiction rehabilitation clinic in the UK.
