Grand Opening of £5 million Compton Centre

The grand opening of a state-of-the-art £5million joint service centre combining council and health facilities in Leeds took place on Monday 12 July.

The new centre in the Harehills District of Leeds is known as The Compton Centre. It is hoped that it will transform access to council services for local people by providing them in new, modern facilities all under one roof.

The centre includes a new, larger library and a new customer services team providing help and advice with benefits, council tax, housing, social care, environment-related issues and Leeds Credit Union enquiries.

Also located at the centre will be a Jobshop where people can get help with getting back to work or receive advice on training. In addition to this, NHS Leeds Community Healthcare’s Primary Care Mental Health Team will provide counselling and support to any patients referred to the service by their family doctor (GP).

The historic frontage of the old Compton Road Library has been preserved, and a new modern extension constructed, with many environmentally friendly features.
