Matlock Deputy Mayor, Cllr Paul Cruise, is a St John’s Ambulance volunteer vaccinator Residents have been left to question for months why many are being forced to travel out of town for their vaccine. Sites such as Hathersage Pharmacy and hospital sites in Bakewell and Ashbourne offer appointments – but the district’s largest population centre has long been left without a centre of its own. Now, Matlock now has a vaccination centre based at Matlock Town Football Club. Cllr Steve Flitter, Leader of Matlock Town Council, recommended the football club as an “excellent” location within the town. Fellow councillor and Matlock Deputy Mayor, Cllr Paul Cruise, is a St John’s Ambulance volunteer vaccinator – and this Saturday it was a home fixture as Cllr Cruise was vaccinating at Matlock Town FC.
