City opens a new clinic

The City of Cape Town officially opened a clinic worth 2.5 million rand in Claremont on Tuesday. The Claremont Clinic located in Old Stanhope Road now replaces the Station Road Clinic that has been demolished to make way for the taxi facility. Frank van der Velde from the City of the Cape Town says the facility is part of the Claremont Transport Interchange and the Claremont Boulevard Project, which is proposed to be constructed in partnership between the City and the Claremont Improvement District Company. Van der Velde says the new clinic incorporates a building which existed on the site, a newly constructed wing, nine consulting rooms, ample parking and landscaping.
