In February 2020 it was announced that Askam’s Parklands Surgery would close when the current GP retired in June.
In May, a group of Parish, District and County Councillors got together to try and drum up support to save the Askam GP Practice. The Save Our Surgery Group was formed and gathered over 500 signatures to present a petition to Parliament. For a community like Askam a local GP is a must, and our Managing Director thought the same. He kindly bought the building to use solely for the purpose of being a Doctors Surgery.

This has been a collective effort from all involved and really shows what can be done when a group of people get the support of the community and pull together. Huge thank you to the whole team for making this happen.
