About 60,000 patients are expected to be affected if the six practices move to a new hub in Shrewsbury.

If approved, Marysville, South Hermitage, Marden, The Beeches, Belvidere and Claremont Bank practices would become part of the new Shrewsbury Health Hub

Under the plans, six GP practices would be based together from 2025, alongside health, social care, voluntary and community services. Shropshire Council said it was looking into transport options as well other possible sites for the hub. Dr Charlotte Hart, clinical lead for the project, has previously said letting local GP services continue as they are is "not an option", but that no final decisions have yet been taken on the hub.The current surgeries range between 2.6 miles and 0.8 miles from the preferred site, in Meole Brace.
