Plans submitted for new prison cell changes

Wednesday, 8 November 2023 13:00

By Charlie Smith - Local Democracy Reporter

New proposals have been submitted to Buckinghamshire Council to change new prison cells at HMP Springhill.

The application seeks modifications to already-approved plans for 41 accommodation units and ancillary facilities at HMP Springhill, which the application says would give prisoners “more paths and grass”.

If approved, the changes would include raising the finished floor levels of blocks 1 and 2 and moving Block 3 to the east by 2 metres.

A gravel area between blocks 1 and 2 is to be reduced, and a path installed, while there will be minor changes to the appearance of the railings of walkways.

Plans for new cells at the Category D men’s prison after an inspection found that living conditions there were “unfit for purpose”.
