NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have launched a new patient experience survey to gather patients’ views on the current blood taking service. If you have either used the service during the COVID-19 pandemic or before then please take the time to fill in the survey. By taking part, you will be contributing towards making the service work the way it should for people that are using it.
To share your view click on the following link: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8JPTBNQ. You can also call 07870 973241 for assistance in completing the survey or request a paper copy and freepost return envelope from the CCGs.
Residents who have their COVID-19 vaccination booked at Severn Fields Medical Practice will now be able to access a free shuttle bus service.
Last week saw the launch of the free shuttle service to the new Shrewsbury Vaccination Centre at Shrewsbury Sports Village (Bowls Centre) on Sundorne Road.
The service will also take passengers attending the adjacent Severn Fields Medical Practice, and passengers can walk the short distance from the bus stop on the Shrewsbury Sport Village site to Severn Fields Medical Practice.
The service is operated by Arriva in partnership with Shropshire Council.
Services VS1 and VS2 will run every 20 minutes throughout the day, with Shuttle VS1 running from 0735 until 2015, and Shuttle VS2 running from 0745 until 1945.
The shuttles will serve key locations around Shrewsbury, picking up passengers travelling to the Vaccination Centre. VS1 will serve Bayston Hill, Meole Brace – Moneybrook Way, Abbey Foregate – Shirehall and Monkmoor Road. VS2 will serve the Harlescott Park and Ride site, Coton Hill and .
Upon arrival at the Shrewsbury Sports Village (Bowls Centre), marshals will be on hand to direct people to get their vaccines at either of the vaccination centres.
Over the coming weeks the service may alter as the main demand points become clearer. This should not impact people’s ability to use the service.
All buses undergo a daily enhanced cleaning regime, which includes the deep cleaning of all touch points with a suitable disinfectant. Customers are asked to follow social distancing rules on board the services wherever possible, by not using seats that have been taped off for their own and the driver’s protection. Face coverings must be worn at all times. Exemptions apply.
Dean Carroll, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for adult social care, public health and climate change, said:
“The inclusion of Severn Fields Medical Practice on these bus shuttles is a sensible thing to do, as the sites are adjacent to each other. It is likely that the vaccination programme will continue for many months ahead and these sites provide Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas with excellent facilities to help fight the virus and get life back to ‘normal’.
“The Council will do all it can to support these centres and the free shuttle services in partnership with Arriva, to help residents get their vaccines are part of this effort.”

The shuttle service follows the successful launch of the free transport offer which is for bespoke transport for vulnerable individuals to various vaccinations locations who, without transport assistance, would not have been able to attend their appointment.

The Housing Needs Survey is usually a 6-week-long survey to determine hidden housing need in every individual parish (or group of parishes, where the parishes are smaller) across Shropshire.
The information we collect will feed directly into Shropshire Council’s planning policy and will help to determine the type, scale and location of future homes, to ensure we are providing the right kind of housing and support where it’s needed most.
This includes for all types of housing, whether it’s open market sale, affordable sale, rented, older person accommodation or specialist housing.
The Housing Needs Surveys are run by Right Home Right Place, a small team of Affordable Housing Officers who are part of Shropshire Councils planning policy department. Our role is to build a clear picture of what’s needed in your each of our county’s parishes by running comprehensive housing needs surveys in communities throughout Shropshire.
You can find out more about Right Home Right Place, meet the team, read the latest news updates and get help with a range of housing queries via our website at www.righthomerightplace.co.uk
