Negative experience: Came here before for my mum's vaccine and it was good, I went there today at 3pm as on the tameside Council website it says that there is a walk-in service from 8:30 until 17:30, however it was closed with no information or notice left on the door! A woman in the playground said that they were open until around 2pm so they closed early without leaving any sort of information. Tried to contact the council, they didn't answer the phone and spoke with someone using the live chat on the council's website and she said we don't have any information about it and don't know if the clinics timetable has been updated! Very unhappy with my experience today, a lot of people arrived there and left because it was closed
