NEW medical treatment units have been delivered to Tetbury Hospital by crane.

The three huge structures took a team of engineers around an hour and a half each to install early Saturday morning.

Cate Moore, hospital manager, said: "They are massive, we've had to cut down some trees just to get them in."

Simon Preston, chairman of the Friends of Tetbury Hospital, said it was nice to see progress being made.

"It's one step closer," he said. "It's a good milestone to record."

The new units will allow the hospital to provide a greater range of services.

It is hoped the development will be complete by September.
