Josh and Tanja – I think you are doing a great job, sadly the same cannot be said of the Council. So far they have only used a subset of the powers they have to fix the problem. The basic problem is lack of finance to finish the job. However, the Council could use its prudential borrowing powers to obtain the finance. This is providing the details… Read more »

I’d like to thank David, and his mother, for supporting our campaign to save FJ & restore it to use. It was a pleasure to meet them both yesterday when they joined us on site; FJ is a place they both know well & which means a lot to them, mainly because of Mrs Goodall’s time working there. I had hoped that by now somebody from the… Read more »

Dear David,

Thank you for this very interesting suggestion. Hopefully, the Council will consider this option! Your support for the campaign to save Frank James is gratefully received.

988 clicks for our Frankie James Song – almost there! The almost 1000 who have listened to the song as well as the over 3000 who signed a petition for an Urgent Works Notice to be served on the owners of Frank James shows that this is far from a fringe issue: Frank James is close to many people’s hearts and the Friends ask – nay plead… Read more »

Hurray! Over a thousand clicks for our Frankie James Song and over 100 as yet for our Three Friends Song (see links in article above). Thank you to everyone who is supporting the cause! Now we expect the owners and Council – with the help of CADO (Campaign Against Delinquent Ownership)- to finally come up with the goods.

There is now a short video outlining the history of the Frank James Memorial Hospital and the work of the Friends to save this glorious building. It has been filmed and edited by Josh Aitken.

@David Goodall

Thank you for your advice as this hasn’t been talked about before! The council has swept any chance of doing something to Frank James under the mat so we are always looking for other suggestions, possibilities! :)

My mum also remembers your mum at Frank James as she had her nees operated on! So much history surrounds Frank James!

Yes I know about your Mum’s knees and I remember when she used to work at Lloyds Bank in East Cowes in the early 1980s.

On the borrowing to invest Eastleigh has been held up as an example to follow by the Local Government Association for more details see:-

So much history surrounds Frank James, this is true. Now we hope it will have a future as well! This could be built upon the past: Apparently after having trashed most of them, the Cottage Hospitals are now the in-thing again! Barring this, the building could become a Nursing Home or why not a Centre for Culture, where the Library, the Heritage Centre and other communal activities… Read more »

Deat Mat, The one doesn’t exclude the other: Salvage Frank James by partially opening it up to business and you will attract investment. Moreover, in these days of housing shortages, it could provide housing as well as more jobs for local companies who could take part in the restoration and retro-fitting of this magnificent building. Win-win in other words… To top it all up, once this beautiful… Read more »

Good Luck to all the positive posters here I agree with all you say so lets hope The Frank James Hospital Building can soon be put right then put to good use along with the building in St Thomas Square which is under threat now and many others that are standing idle needing restoration, then put to good use like the Man on the Moon in St… Read more »

With all the problems now being experienced by the NHS in that they cannot cope with the amount of people using A&E, where was the strategic vision when they shut not only Frank James but other small units? We have a growing population, not just us but the whole world. The birth rate over her is not increasing that fast yet, but people are living a lot… Read more »
