OPPONENTS who are resisting the closure of hospital services will take to the streets of Ealing on April 27.
NHS NW London has decided to shut A&E at Ealing, Central Middlesex, Charing Cross and Hammersmith hospitals, as well as maternity services at Ealing.
Marchers will set off from Southall Park and Acton Park and converge at Ealing Common.
Council leader Julian Bell said: “Our fight is not over. We want to send a message to NHS bosses and the Secretary of State that we will not stand for this disastrous decision.”
He said the decisions ignored the best interests of people and his council was united in opposing the plans.
Ealing Council has since referred the NHS decision to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. If you would like to take part, meet at Southall Park at 11.30am or Acton Park at 12.30. The rally will begin at Ealing Common at 2.
