Where can I park?

Car parking is available on the Daniel Platt Business Park. Alternative car parking is also available on Woodbank Street Car Park (30 spaces), Tunstall. We are identifying other parking support from local businesses, and we will update this guidance regularly. 

Please do not arrive early as this will impact social distancing and will reduce the number of car park spaces available for those that need them. 

Where practical we would encourage people to walk if possible and appropriate. Bike parking is available on site.

If you are in an at risk group and are invited to attend the large vaccination centres, but unable to travel to there, rest assured you will also be contacted by your GP to attend one of the local community sites over the coming weeks. If you would prefer to wait and be seen at one of the community sites, you can ignore the national email and wait to be contacted by your GP practice. If you will struggle to attend one of the community sites, please speak to your GP practice when you are called or invited to book an appointment.
