Firm starts £3.6m hospice works

A CONSTRUCTION firm has begun the £3.6m expansion of a hospice.

Fareham firm Amiri Construction will start building a new two-storey 10-bedroom building at the Countess of Brecknock Hospice in Andover.

The design plans, drawn up by Morse Webb Architects, will border the existing facilities with an enclosed connection between the new and old buildings on the site located at the War Memorial Community Hospital until October 2019.
