Cars queue up to use the drive-through test centre at the East of England Showground.

Peterborough City Council has confirmed the news and has said that this is due to “pre-planned events.”

Those in need of a PCR test can go online to www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test to book one of the available slots in Cambridgeshire.

Alternatively, rapid testing is available for people without symptoms at a number of sites including St Mark’s Church, Lincoln Road, Cathedral Square and The Herlington Centre, Orton Malborne.
