Councillor Davies added: "Many people have contacted me about those who are restricted to home.

"Many GP practices will be conducting home visits.

"Be sure to tell the GP if this applies to you or a family member."

It will open to the public on Thursday.

In the next few weeks, other sites due to open as vaccination centres are expected to include Ludlow Racecourse, the indoor bowling centre at Shrewsbury Sports Village and Whitchurch Civic Centre.
