Northlands Surgery, Calne Director of nursing and quality, Gill May said: “To know that more vaccination sites are opening up within the first two weeks of the year is remarkable, and a reflection of our overall ambition to offer the vaccine quickly and safely to as many people as possible. “I know that many people, especially those over the age of 80, will be feeling anxious over not having yet received an invitation to be vaccinated, but please be patient and rest assured that we are working our way through the lists and no person will be forgotten.” Since December, a number of venues across the region, including the Steam Museum in Swindon and the Corn Exchange in Devizes, have established vaccination clinics, which have helped hundreds of people to receive the vaccine in a single day.
The Michelin-starred Pony and Trap gastropub in Chew Magna, Somerset, has closed permanently, with its owners preparing to relaunch the site later this year as a community interest company.
