THE new Mount Vets’ building on the A38 near Cades Farm is set to open ‘early in the New Year’.

The veterinary hospital, which employs 45 staff and treats tens of thousands of animals a year, is moving out of the High Street in Wellington, having outgrown its present premises.

“We have invested heavily on equipment and staff in recent years and I suppose you can say this completes the project,” said vet and partner Charlotte Freeman yesterday.

The new hospital is sited on about 1.75 acres of land and the building has separate entrances and areas inside for the farm and small animal parts of the practice.
