A coronavirus testing facility for people with symptoms is expected to open in Hayes from next week.

The latest site in will be established within the Station Approach car park, making it the fourth in the borough for residents experiencing symptoms.  

The other testing facilities are located in Crystal Palace car park, Cotmandene Crescent car park in St Pauls Cray and the mobile unit operating in Norman Park.

Councillor Diane Smith, Executive Councillor for Adult Care and Health,  said: “Bromley Council is pleased to be able to continue to support the government’s testing initiative but the sad and stark reality is that this centre is needed because of the continued high numbers of cases which is already much publicised. 

"Whilst in the last day or so, there are tentative welcome signs that numbers are falling slightly, they are still at worryingly high levels.”

“We remain in a critical position locally and nationally and it is absolutely imperative we all do what we can to prevent the spread of this dreadful virus to protect our loved ones and the wider community."
