Additional land space is being arranged for The Valley Polyclinic by taking in the area where the building currently occupied by the Anguilla National Trust is located.
The National Trust building is one of three other buildings which stood in the area over the years. Two of them were The Valley Health Clinic and the Dental Unit both of which were extensively damaged or compromised by Hurricane Irma. The other older structure provided offices for Primary Healthcare and Nutrition. All three buildings have been demolished in preparation for the new Valley Polyclinic.
The National Trust building is also to be demolished for the required additional land space.
