HUNDREDS of petitioners are calling for a new health centre to be built in Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan. More than 800 local people are urging the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (UHB) to build a health centre on Eagleswell Road, where a former primary school closed in 2015. The disused plot of land is currently owned by Vale of Glamorgan council, and is allocated for 72 potential houses in the local development plan. But campaigners want the council to allow the health board to build a new health centre there, complaining the town’s current surgeries aren’t up to scratch.
