Last chance re health cuts

The battle to stop the hospital cuts continues with the most extraordinary energy and commitment from so many. When the consultation began there was so little hope of saving the Maternity Hospital and Weavers Croft, but at last there are glimmers of hope. The marches, meetings, demonstrations, wrist bands, exhibitions, stunts and letters are having an effect: the campaign has been relentless.


Today there was another Party in the Park with bands, a magic man, games, dancing and stalls again highlighting the threats to our services. It had a good atmosphere - and a great band that played Jam hits - and a stall with some great cakes!

I would strongly urge all those who have not written to the authorities and Government to do so. We have not won yet and must keep the pressure up. Even if it is only a couple of sentences it is worth it - any personal examples of how Stroud Maternity or Weavers has helped you or your family would be especially good. The official consultation period has been extended until Monday 4th September 2006. If you want ideas to write longer letters please see my online Blog on 10th August for Maternity Hospital and 14th July for Weavers Croft:
