Work is underway to refurb a major vaccination site in Nottingham ahead of the colder season.
The Forest Recreation Ground Vaccination Centre will be temporarily closed as a result due to ongoing works on the site.
The current site is made up of Portakabin buildings and also uses outdoor spaces as part of the facility.
The ongoing works include expanding the inside space and ensuring that the site is suitable for cold and wet periods of time.
The site has been closed on September 21 from 8pm and is expected to remain shut for a total of four weeks.
Pictures and video footage taken by Nottinghamshire Live at the scene show the scale of the expansion with additional parking expected to replace the grass.
During the temporary closure, alternative provision for first and second vaccinations is available locally at:
- The Karimia Mosque and Community Space in Hyson Green, Nottingham, NG7 5JU (9.30am to 3.30pm Monday – Thursday)
- Community pharmacies (including Boots in the Victoria Centre)
- Gamston Vaccination Site until October 16
- Richard Herrod vaccination Site until October 17
Members of the public who are eligible for a booster vaccination are asked not to contact the NHS to seek a vaccine. They will be contacted directly by the public health body instead.
