First Covid-19 large scale vaccination centres launch in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
The NHS has launched its first large scale vaccination centres in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough this week as part of the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history. The centres are located on the ground floor of the Grafton Centre in Cambridge and at City Care Centre on Thorpe Road in Peterborough. The centres provide an additional option to the vaccination hubs already successfully delivering vaccinations in local hospitals and by GPs across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

2021 Census
The Census for England and Wales takes place every ten years and 2021 is a census year. This once-in-a-decade survey gives the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales, and has been carried out every decade since 1801, except in 1941. Census information helps in the planning and funding of public services. Collecting this information is even more important during a Brexit departure from Europe and also the difficulties of an ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. You can find out all about the 2021 census at https://census.gov.uk. The Census offers a number of temporary jobs, which can be explored at https://www.censusjobs.co.uk/. If you want to see recent Dry Drayton Census Data from 2001 and 2011, it is here: http://www.drydrayton.net/census.asp. We also have the full data from 1891 and 1911 at http://www.drydrayton.net/history.asp.
