Environmental Health officers have moved their office from the old hospital building on Point Finger Road, Paget to the Continental Building, on Burnaby Street, in Hamilton.

A Department of Health spokeswoman said the temporary relocation was to make way for the Island's new hospital, which is to be built on the Point Finger Road site.

"It is anticipated that the Environmental Health section will move into newly renovated premises at Hermitage Road, Devonshire, the site of the former Metro Mineral Water factory, as soon as the renovation is completed," she added.

"In the meantime, the administrative hub of Environmental Health will operate from the Continental Building, giving the public a venue to pay for and collect licences or to meet personally with environmental health staff."

Environmental Health officers can be reached on 278-4900 or 278-5333.
