From Saturday 18 December, a FREE park and ride coach service will be available for people getting vaccinated at the North Devon Leisure Centre.
Please use this wherever possible instead of parking at the Leisure Centre to:
- Prioritise the Leisure Centre parking for those with mobility difficulties
- Help reduce traffic in the area
- Ensure Northern Devon can keep on moving whilst getting vaccinated too
The service will be available every day that the vaccination centre is open up to 31 December (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, 31 December).
Where to park: former park and ride facility at Park School, Barnstaple, EX32 9AX
