Readers have their say with Barrow’s recovery centre set to close

Simon Ross Silvie It is a tribute to everyone that these overflow hospitals were not needed. The dire projections remained just that. Tragic as the deaths have been, it could have been so much worse...

Linda Laing Simon Ross Silvie are you kidding? The UK infection rate is still going up.

Cash for Gold South Cumbria With so many not socially distancing their self it may still come in handy, just wait a couple weeks for this to spike again.

Stuart Hosking-Durn I like the comments and how many so enlightened people know why these units were built, how they were funded and how actually the fact that they were never used is actually a success.

Edna Fender Thankfully never needed, although watching the idiots protesting in London yesterday social distancing went out the window could be another flood of cases.

Michael Dixon Should have spent the money on PPE for key workers.

Susan Atkinson Might need it if another wave.

Cheryl Bowes I’d leave it for another few weeks in case we get another wave

Patricia Parks I would leave it as they keep telling us another wave will happen.

Rosemary Dufrayer The point was to be ready if needed.. it is wonderful that it was not needed ...

Dan Sneesby Why are people saying it’s a waste of money? Had it been needed and not had it the same people would have kicked off about that as well. Can’t win.

Sandra Cooper Maybe a bit hasty?

Diane Hardy Hope the stuff in it can be recycled and not just dumped in landfill.

Catherine Hill Diane Hardy it’s being put in storage, in case it’s needed in the future.

Stephen Jay Don’t count your chickens just yet.

Jo Bee Everyone keeps going on about a second wave, then they close the temporary hospitals?
