A MEETING has been called by the people who run the Royal Berkshire Hospital, aimed at exploring the how to maintain its listed buildings.
The London Road site has the same grade listing as Buckingham Palace, but there are plans to redevelop the Royal Berkshire Hospital’s services, which could include moving to a new site, such as the one mooted for Shinfield.
The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust’s team, Building Berkshire Together, will hold the online engagement session next week to talk about the history of the buildings, and the challenges the site presents.
The session will feature talks by Richard Havelock, Chairman of Management Committee, Berkshire Medical Heritage Centre & Royal Berkshire Hospital Medical Museum and Ed McGeehin, Head of Capital Projects at RBFT
A spokesperson said: “We would welcome anyone with an interest in the redevelopment and the preservation of the listed buildings to join us.
“Please register your interest for this event and receive the webinar link or share your thoughts by emailing buildingberkshiretogether@royalberkshire.nhs.uk. You can also join the network and be the first to know about the upcoming events and latest news.”
They added: “The Building Berkshire Together team are also keen to come to you; so if you run a local community group or have a meeting or event that we can speak at to let as many of the community know about the hospital redevelopment programme then do let us know and we will try to accommodate this.”
The session runs from 7pm to 8pm on Monday, May 9, using the Zoom platform. .
