Weymouth Town Council would like to recognise the positive news of the introduction of a mobile coronavirus test facility in Weymouth. The facility opened yesterday (Wednesday 29th April) and is situated at the Mount Pleasant Park and Ride. 

Local people including key workers, the over 65’s and those who have to leave home to go to work have been given the opportunity to book a test in Weymouth on the Government’s website, with the testing being carried out by the armed forces. 

Weymouth Town Council will continue to support theDepartment of Health and Social Care and partners to promote the availability of the facility and its continued operation.

Cllr Graham Winter, Mayor of Weymouth Town Council,said:

“Weymouth welcomes the introduction of a coronavirus testing facility locally this week. This facility is vital to local care staff and other key workers who have to leave their homes to work and avoids them having to travel long distances to be tested. We value the commitment and dedication of all staff who look after the vulnerable and sick in our community.”

Weymouth Town Councillors would like to commend the continued work by many local volunteers, church groups and agencies for their tireless work to support those in greatest need in the community during the coronavirus pandemic. The Council are committed to supporting these groups in every way possible. 

The Town Council is also working hard on a recovery plan for Weymouth post lockdown with important collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and the Weymouth BID.
