A CORONAVIRUS testing site will open outside a Wombwell library today for those with symptoms of the virus - although disabled access to the library will be restricted.

The centre opened in the car park of the Wombwell library today (November 3) to help have better access to tests in the area.

However, disabled access to the library will be blocked off as a result.

A spokesperson for Barnsley Council said: “Due to the Covid-19 testing unit in Wombwell today, there will be no disabled access to the building.

“We are so sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.”
