This week, Cricklewood Town Team proudly supported the health and wellbeing of our community by hosting the Covid-19 Booster Bus at Oaklands Square. The initiative, in collaboration with our local NHS and Brent Council, welcomed residents, shoppers, and visitors alike.
The Covid-19 Booster Bus provided an accessible and convenient way for individuals to receive their vaccinations, ensuring our community remains protected and healthy. This effort underscores our commitment to public health and the safety of our residents.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the local NHS and Brent Council for their unwavering support and dedication. Together, we are making a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of Cricklewood.
