Abingdon’s Market Place was fairly quiet today, with only a single stall present. The stall was raising funds for Guide Dogs and offered a variety of items, including Christmas cards, calendars, cuddly dogs, secondhand CDs and books. Guide dogs were placed at the entries to the Market Place with collecting buckets.

Outside of the market, the only busy area was the Charter, where locals were lining up for their annual flu and COVID-19 vaccinations. A staff member was directing those aged 65 and over with appointments to a separate queue.
