MPS’ BACKING FOR BRANSFORD EOC PROPOSAL
West Worcestershire’s Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Richard Burt
revealed more support from Worcestershire and Herefordshire MPs and candidates
for his joint proposal with staff to save Bransford EOC, submitted to the West
Midlands Ambulance Trust this morning.
Mr Burt said he was delighted to be able to add the names of Hereford MP, Paul
Keetch and Hereford and South Herefordshire Liberal Democrat Parliamentary
Candidate, Sarah Carr to the proposal.
“We now have strong support from across the two counties and it is up to the
board to listen. I have not spoken to a single politician or member of the
public that supports the Trust’s closure plans,” said Mr Burt.
“The campaign to save Bransford does not stop here. More work will be done
during the final five weeks of the consultation as I continue to receive more
information to strengthen our case from campaign supporters.
“Michael Foster MP responded by saying that he supports the retention of
Bransford, but thinks Shrewsbury EOC should be closed. Sir Michael Spicer MP
said he was “broadly sympathetic” to our proposal, but along with Parliamentary
Candidate Harriett Baldwin, would be submitting their own proposals at a later
date.
Ends.
