The free shuttle bus service introduced in Lincoln to transport people up to the Lincolnshire Showground for their vaccinations has been extended for another week, until Friday 27 August.

The service provides free transport to the Showground, between 8am-6pm from Monday to Friday and leaves the bus station (stand C) on the hour. It picks up people for the return journey on the half hour.

People will be asked to wear face masks on the shuttle bus

Natalie Liddle, Acting Head of Service for Health Protection, said: "The shuttle bus has provided a vital link for people to access the Showground for their vaccinations, particularly young people who haven't got easy access to transport. Nearly 150 people have used the bus since it started operating late last week. So don't miss the opportunity to get vaccinated – just turn up at the bus station at the allotted time to use the service.

"Covid hasn't gone away - getting the vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others from infection. We all need to take personal responsibility to do what we can to keep each other as safe as possible and reduce infection rates across the city."
