PATIENTS pushing for the relocation of a doctors’ surgery which would “benefit the whole community” are growing frustrated with how long it is taking. Last year the Gazette was told the East Lynne Medical Centre could potentially move into the Tendring Centre, which is run by St Helena Hospice. It came after the charity submitted plans to sell-off the Clacton building, in Jackson Road, and sought permission so 40 flats and 27 parking spaces could be built. Ground-floor space was also set aside within the scheme for a possible restaurant, shop, or pub, which could have been occupied by a national company.

THE speedy rollout of the coronavirus vaccination programme is a beaming light in an otherwise dark time, according to north Essex residents who have received their jabs. Latest figures from NHS England show more than 1.3million vaccines have now been administered in the East of England, as of February 11. This has been helped by the opening of mass vaccinations centres at the likes of Clacton Hospital and the JobServe Community Stadium in Colchester. The Tendring Centre in Clacton, and Colchester Hospital have also been offering the vital jabs. Care worker Gemma East, 43, from Clacton, received her first dose of the vaccine at Colchester Hospital.
