A new community centre for Rose Hill will go ahead as planned after the city council’s executive board voted to give another £487,000 to the project.

The board met yesterday to approve the extra funds after tenders for the project came in significantly over the original approved budget of £3,485,000.

The centre will feature a doctor’s surgery, community gym, kitchen and police office.
