Minehead Old Hospital Group and Minehead Regeneration Plan
A shared vision for the future of the West Somerset Hospital in Minehead has united community and public sector organisations across West Somerset with a single aim to try to keep the historic listed building for the community.
The Minehead Old Hospital Group (MOHG) is now welcoming thoughts from people across West Somerset on its proposal to make the hospital a hub of community and cultural activity. It is hoped that the project can be underpinned with sound private enterprise to make it a viable and sustainable centre for residents across the district to enjoy, and to provide an indoor attraction for visitors.
The group, has been meeting since early 2008 to look at possibilities. It has secured approximately £20k in donations towards a feasibility study for the site and is also applying to the Sea Change project to see if further funding can be accessed for the study. If so, the study is also likely to include the Regal Theatre and Blenheim Gardens.
We will update these web pages with further information when it becomes available.
