PLANS to move a Warminster doctors' surgery to the town's community hospital took a step forward on Monday night.

Smallbrook Surgery, which cares for over 3,000 patients at its base in Boreham Road, is due to transfer to the hospital from October.

The transfer would see the current premises return to residential use and on Monday Warmin-ster Town Council's planning committee raised no objections.

Last month the committee voted in favour of external alterations at the hospital to make way for the surgery.
