There's calls for a permanent, full time testing site within North East Lincolnshire as soon as possible.

Currently, there's a facility at Duchess Street, however it's not open everyday.

It means people are doing a 50 mile round trip by car to get tested.

That distance is increased and more expensive for those who don't have a vehicle.

The council believe this acts as a deterrent against testing, increasing the risk of a spike in the area.
