Coronavirus: Clair Hall Considered As Vaccination Centre

Wednesday, 9 December 2020 15:27

By Charlotte Baker @Ch4rtweets

Mid Sussex District Council has offered the NHS use of the old Clair Hall building in Haywards Heath as a potential Covid-19 vaccination centre.

The authourity said it's working with the NHS to explore other sites which could be used to support the mass vaccination programme.

The District Council is currently working with the NHS to explore whether sites it owns can be used to support the mass vaccination programme.

There are very strict requirements for potential sites that need to be identified quickly, so the vaccination programme can start in Mid Sussex.

The final decision is yet to be made.

Councillor Jonathan Ash-Edwards, Leader of Mid Sussex District Council said:

"It is fantastic news that we have a licensed vaccine for Covid-19 in the UK to begin to protect people from the pandemic and we all need to play our part in getting the country vaccinated, starting with the most vulnerable.

"As part of the national effort the District Council has been supporting the NHS in their search for suitable venues for vaccination centres in Mid Sussex.

"This work has concluded that the old Clair Hall building in Haywards Heath could be used and the Council has therefore offered it to the NHS. While the building is now closed, I hope this is one final service it can perform to the community.

"During this time, the Council will continue to develop plans for the regeneration of the site including the provision of modern community facilities, drawing on the consultations underway with former user groups and on the Haywards Heath town centre masterplan."
