Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield says it makes "perfect sense" for the city's Cathedral to be used as a vaccine hub.

Ms Duffield made the remark on Twitter after Charlotte Cornell, the 2019 Labour candidate for Dover, asked whether there were any plans for the landmark to be used as a location to administer vaccines.

Several cathedrals across the country have been turned into centres, such as in Salisbury and Lichfield.

Ms Duffield replied, saying the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, was in favour of the idea.

She said: "ABC certainly willing and has suggested KCC [Kent County Council] speak with them.

"Have heard no updates that KCC currently planning on this...."

She added: "Makes perfect sense, not that easy for many in our area to get to Folkestone for their vaccines..."

The vaccine roll-out in Kent is being overseen by the Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

No plans have been published to turn the Cathedral into a vaccine site.

On Tuesday, the old Debenhams in Sandgate Road, Folkestone, became the latest site to offer jabs.

There are more than 30 other sites offering the vaccine in the county, along with GP surgeries and other NHS providers.

Kent and Medway CCG has been approached for comment.
