New Vaccination Centre

As you may have seen, there have been a high number of vehicle movements up to the Sports and Social Club in the last week or so.
 
The Sports and Social Club has been hired by Jardines Pharmacy which has taken on an NHS contract to provide a vaccination clinic. This clinic is in addition to the Vaccination Centre at Bicester Heritage run by the three Bicester surgeries.
 
There have been some teething problems with traffic coming into and out of the site between the Parish Hall and the School, but we hope that these have now been mitigated by the organisers.
 
The main concern raised was the conflict between the high number of vehicles and the school pickup and drop off, particularly at the end of the school day.
 
We have been assured by the organisers that additional marshals will be available to help with the traffic management when the clinics are in progress.
 
The next two clinics (on Tuesdays) have already been arranged and bookings taken, but all new clinics will ensure that appointments are not scheduled for the hour around the end of the school day in order that the children can leave school safely.
 
Parents of the school children have been asked not to park in the lane beyond the Parish Hall car park (which is owned and managed by the Sports and Social Club) and to walk to school if at all possible.
