Save Leek Hospital

You may have heard that Leek’s hospital is currently under threat from cuts which could lead to the removal of beds and services within a short time.

It is clear from townsfolk that the facilities offered at the Ashbourne Road site are second to none, from a care point of view, and need to be retained for the use of current and future generations.

A campaign has been launched to co-ordinate efforts designed to effectively influence those decision-making bodies with the objective of, at the very least, retaining current services at Leek Hospital.

In spite of only being in its embryonic stages, sadly, criticism has been levelled that this campaign is politically motivated. Please be assured that this is definitely not the case. There were residents at the first meeting from different political affiliations however it is clear that the goal of saving this local asset is a shared one which crosses all political boundaries.

Councillors or other individuals, from any allegiance, will not be allowed to hijack this initiative for their own purposes. Instead, support is welcomed from anyone who shares the passion for repelling any attack on Moorlands’ precious services.

Please look out for details regarding what you can do to help, which will include writing to various bodies, spreading the news of the campaign, and attending a future public meeting.

Thank you for reading this.
