SEASIDERS expecting to see their town’s community venue turned into a mass vaccination centre may be waiting a little longer than they first thought, it has been revealed.
In December, Frinton and Walton Town Council said the NHS had confirmed it would be hiring the Columbine Centre, in Princes Esplanade, Walton.
It was understood the health service would take on the site to administer the PfizerBioNTech Covid-19 vaccine as part of the roll out of the biggest vaccination programme in its history.
Although this remains the case, a health source believes the transformation of the centre into a fully functioning hub could still be at least a month away, if not longer.
