NHS urged to retain Victorian frontage at new centre in Hinckley
NHS health bosses have been urged to preserve the historic frontage of a Hinckley hospital in its proposal for a new £10.5m medical NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board plans to build the day case unit on the existing Hinckley and District Hospital, in Mount leader of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council has now written a letter to the board expressing his "deep disappointment" the Victorian frontage will be demolished as part of the board said it was unable to retain the frontage due to clinical requirements of the development but planned to include some materials from the current building. The new facility is designed to deliver services including gynaecology, urology and plastic surgery and will be linked to the new community diagnostic centre at the site. A planning application to demolish the entire hospital was submitted to the borough council earlier this his letter, council leader Stuart Bray said he "warmly" welcomed improved NHS facilities in the town following decades of campaigning but urged the board to "look at the plans again" and offered to hold wrote: "Having now seen the plans for the new day care centre, I want to express my deep disappointment that they include the demolition of the Victorian cottage hospital which has stood on Mount Road for centuries and is part of my hometown's heritage."I cannot believe it is not possible to retain the older parts of the frontage of the hospital and develop the new modern facilities that residents deserve, behind the Victorian facade."Many people have contacted me to express concerns over your plan. I know these concerns will not be new to you as I believe such concerns were raised as part of the public consultation." 'Benefits outweigh concerns' In a statement the board said: "The option of retaining the Victorian frontage of the hospital unfortunately would have meant that the business care objectives and clinical requirements for the development of the new facilities would not be met."The proposed materials do include reclaimed bricks from the current building and we consider that the heritage impact of the scheme will be outweighed by the benefits to the public. "We are also working with a local historian on plans to display images inside and outside of the new building, charting its long history."A public consultation period is under way on the council's website and will run until 13 June.

Deadly car explosion rocks Palm springs near medical center
ALBAWABA - In the affluent city of Palm Springs, authorities reported that a device detonated close to a medical facility Saturday morning, killing one person. The explosion prompted an instant emergency response and seriously damaged nearby businesses. The explosion happened in the parking lot next to the American Reproductive Center, which is north of Indian Canyon, at around 11:00 a.m. local time, according to municipal authorities. As police and fire personnel guarded the area, locals were asked to stay away. The medical center's director, Dr. Maher Abdullah, confirmed on social media that although the laboratory area of the clinic was unharmed, the office was damaged. He reassured the public that the blast did not hurt any employees. Dr. Abdullah described the occurrence as an unfortunate and unexpected event, saying, "A car exploded in the parking lot next to our building." He acknowledged the emotional toll of the event and offered his sympathies to the victims and their families. Just weeks after President Trump expressed interest in helping couples have children via IVF, a clinic explodes. The fertility clinic and IVF lab near Desert Regional Hospital in Palm Springs, California, has significant damage. Was this an intentional bomb? — Jere_Memez (@Jere_Memez) May 17, 2025 At the time, 37-year-old Santa Monica resident Nima Tabrizi was inside a local business. Before he hurried outdoors, he described experiencing a strong shaking. Suddenly, the structure trembled. It was a terrific explosion, and when we went outside, we noticed a dense cloud of smoke. "A bomb went off," Tabrizi said. Human remains were discovered as we drew nearer. It was terrifying. The reason of the explosion and the identity of the dead have not yet been made public by authorities. The purpose of the vehicle explosion is being investigated by investigators. Approximately two hours west of Los Angeles, Palm Springs is renowned for its opulent resorts and star-studded past. The local population, which is not used to such violent incidents, has been frightened by the episode. As the inquiry progresses, further developments are anticipated.
