'Strong progress' at Newhaven Health Hub
Key partners visited the landmark Newhaven Health Hub this week to see first hand the progress being made on the project, which will bring modern, integrated health and wellbeing facilities to the heart of the town.
The scheme forms a central part of the council's wider regeneration of Newhaven.
Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, said: "It was fantastic to see such strong progress on the Newhaven Health Hub.
"This project is a major investment in the wellbeing of local residents, and it's exciting to watch these modern, purpose‑built facilities take shape.
"Once complete, the hub will transform access to healthcare and community services in Newhaven, and today's visit shows just how close we are to delivering that vision."
The new link bridge connecting the Wave Active extension to the existing Seahaven building has now been installed, plus, the full internal fit‑out of the new Chapel Street Surgery has been completed, with work now advancing inside Quayside Surgery and the Wave Active areas.
Chapel Street Surgery remains on track for completion in May 2026, with the remainder of the site expected to be finished by August 2026.
Duncan Kerr, Chief Executive of Wave Active, said:
"Seeing the development up close really brings home the scale of what's being achieved.
"The new integrated facilities will allow us to significantly expand what we and our primary care partners offer.
"This is a huge step forward for Newhaven, and we're proud to be part of a project that will have such a positive impact on local health and wellbeing."
