Thank you to Locke House and speed of vaccine roll-out
Following a motion put forward by Councillor Glenda Allanach (Rokeby & Overslade) and Councillor Carie-Anne Dumbleton (Rokeby & Overslade), Rugby Borough Council will formally thank and acknowledge the excellent progress our local vaccination centre, Locke House, and the testing centre has made.
With the exception of the two hospital sites in the county, the Rugby centre has delivered more vaccines than any other in Warwickshire.
In addition, the feedback from individuals who have attended both Locke House, and the testing centre in Edward Street is extremely complimentary, with many commenting on the professionalism of the staff and volunteers, the Covid security of the facilities and how well organised everything was.
Commenting, Councillor Glenda Allanach (Rokeby & Overslade), said:
"Lockdown has been difficult for everyone and affected health, wealth and well-being. We should be proud that Locke House has delivered more vaccines than any other in Warwickshire. This is hopefully the start of brighter days ahead and it is only right that we thank the dedication and professionalism of the staff and volunteers."
Carie-Anne Dumbleton (Rokeby & Overslade), added:
"We are all extremely grateful to the staff at Locke House. They have done an amazing job and we thank them for all they have done."
