Wirral Council continues its move toward a more flexible and targeted approach to testing as we move along the Government’s roadmap and restrictions ease.
This weekend will see the two symptom-free testing centres located in Greasby and Eastham libraries close at the end of testing on Sunday 9 May.
Testing will still take place at these locations when the mobile testing vehicle visits each week (see the schedule below for details) and people can still access regular symptom-free testing including collection of testing kits at:
- Floral Pavilion, New Brighton, Mon-Fri 10.30am – 6.15pm (10.30am to 2.15pm on weekends from 15 May)
- Former House of Fraser Building, Birkenhead, Mon-Fri 9am to 4.15pm (Saturday 10.30am to 2.15pm / Closed Sunday).
Home testing kits can also be collected from the following council buildings:
- At four central libraries: Bebington, Wallasey, West Kirby and Birkenhead
- Leisure Centres: Europa, West Kirby and Guinea Gap.
- Children’s Centres: Families accessing services at Seacombe, Bromborough and Brassey Street, Birkenhead can also collect home testing kits.
