Built in the 1950s, Bentilee, in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, was at that time one of the largest estates in Europe, with around 4,500 properties. Regeneration of the estate has taken place, and part of that includes the provision of a joint services centre, otherwise known as Bentilee HUB.

The centre, which was completed in early 2007, includes a large GP practice, a dentist, walk-in healthcare centre, a housing office, library, IT suite, community centre and youth services, as well as a number of shops, including a pharmacy and café.  The 25 year project brings together the provision of local authority, primary care and community services with one central facility.
