At Lords Meadow Leisure Centre a military operation is underway. The sports hall, usually abuzz with fitness, badminton or martial arts sessions, has been transformed into a vaccination centre where local medical staff are working tirelessly to deliver jabs to all their patients.

But its impact has far exceeded expectations, as Town Team Chair Rosemary Stephenson explains.
