The Neeld Community & Arts Centre has been offered to the NHS as a Covid-19 vaccination venue.
Chippenham Town Council has contacted Wiltshire Council and the NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire CCG to offer the hall as a centre for the vaccine roll out.
The town council says it has not yet heard back from the CCG, who are heading up the coronavirus jab programme in Wiltshire.
However, the local authority was told that all the vaccination sites had already been decided for the Chippenham area – this being the Rowden Medical Practice.
