Save Stafford Hospital Campaign
The petition to Save Stafford Hospital has now passed 10,000 in the most active public campaign to come to Stafford in the last decade.
And a brand new support group has been launched with a packed and positive public meeting at Walton High school.
http://supportstaffordhospital.co.uk/ This group should play a major part in providing the strong community support the hospital will need in future years.
You can get more updates on the campaign here. http://www.facebook.com/SaveStaffordHospital
Your help is welcome.
This campaign has all been about Real people with Real concerns. Their voices need to be heard.
Some of their comments are reposted here
