Preserve Huntingdonshire

Today there was a massed protest against the proposed downgrading of Hinchingbrooke Hospital. There have been plenty of column inches on this in the local paper - The Hunts Post - see Hands Off Hinchingbrooke . Returning from the Music School there seemed to be an almost continuous stream of people so I’m hoping that the turn-out was good - we need to ensure that the message gets home.

Is there anyone out there who actually took part who would like to contribute their thoughts and observations and perhaps a picture? What was the mood like? I’m hoping that amongst the many who attended we might be able to find a newshound or blogger.

I suspect part of the difficulty is finding out who is responsible for making the decisions - health authority, government - and getting to them. Whilst it is always good to get folks on the streets this also needs to be backed up with lobbying the local and national politicians.

It’s going to be a long haul.
