🚧 🚦 Please be aware, as of 7am Parton Road remains closed due to the burst water pipe on Saturday evening.
There is a diversion in place around Springwell Gardens but with the temporary traffic lights for the gas works near the Co-op and the schools returning today this is causing traffic delays.
Please be mindful and allow an extra few minutes when travelling to your appointment. 🚧🚦

💉 There have been some changes to the MMR vaccine programme.

‼️ Please wait to be contacted !

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
