Proposed Lintonville relocation
Northumbria Primary Care is proposing to move Lintonville GP surgery to a new site at the Ashington Workspace on Lintonville Parkway (near Lidl). The North East and North Cumbria ICB will need to approve the plans before they go ahead.
The current GP surgery building is over 100 years old and is not big enough to provide the best care for patients. More private space is needed in the reception area and there are not enough toilets or parking.
The new site is less than 500 metres from the current surgery and near the main bus station. The new building would have more space, better facilities and more parking.
Next steps
If the plans are approved, work on the new building is expected to start in early 2026. It will take up to a year to complete. The current surgery will stay open during this time, and there will be updates as the proposed surgery move gets closer.
