A PRELIMINARY consultation into the relocation of a village doctors' surgery has been held.

Knebworth residents have been sent a map of four possible sites for the relocation of the doctors' surgery currently on Station Road in Knebworth, and asked for their preference.

The literature accompanying the map, issued by the Knebworth and Marymead Medical Practice, states: "The current building does not have the facilities or the space required for the growing needs of our patients and so we need to expand to new premises where modern facilities and greater access would be available.

"This exciting opportunity will allow the surgery to remain a central part of the village with a broader range of services and facilities available to our patients."

Three of the potential sites are on Green Belt land within Knebworth, while the fourth is in Woolmer Green.

The surgery has said it has been unable to identify any suitable sites that have either already been developed or are on a Brownfield site.
