VETERANS lending their support to assist Covid-19 vaccination hubs faced verbal abuse from some car drivers in Rossendale. Several members of Veterans In Communities, based in Haslingden, have been providing car parking marshals at the vaccination sites in Rawtenstall and Accrington. Operations Manager Bob Elliott said: “Our members have been doing an outstanding job in some quite challenging weather conditions and some unwarranted comments from car drivers who did not like where they were being told to park; however they continue to soldier on.” Strategic Manager for Rossendale Primary Care Networks Andy Laverty emailed VIC to praise the work of the volunteers saying: “The input of your volunteer marshals has been great. Please pass on my thanks. Well done all.”
