Hospital campaign latest
After our fantastic public meeting on Friday, 50 supporters crowded into the restaurant of the Old Picture House on Monday to organise the campaign.
TOMORROW (Thursday)
- We are meeting outside County Hall from 9.30-10.15, then going into the meeting of the Health Scrutiny Committee where Jack Rowland and I will present Seaton’s case. Spotlight will be covering us again!
- Please join us if you can – park in the visitors’ parking. We have placards although you can make your own too if you want! Lifts are available from Seaton and Colyton – let me know if you need one.
PETITION
- We agreed to organise a printed petition. We want these completed by the end of the month – I will let you know shortly where completed forms should be left.
- There is also an online petition – https://www.change.org/p/save-seaton-hospital – please sign and share via email/Facebook.
LEAFLETING
- Signatures will be collected together with leafleting of the whole area, starting early next week. If you’d like to help leaflet your area, please email valnightingale67@yahoo.com as soon as you can.
DAY OF ACTION, SATURDAY 18th NOVEMBER
- We’re hoping that this will begin with church bells ringing in mourning for the threatened loss of part of our hospital – details to follow.
- We’ll be meeting outside the Tramway in Seaton at 10 am, and then spreading out to go leafleting and signature-collecting. Also in Beer outside the Mariners – contact John Cllr Heath – and hopefully in Colyton (to be confirmed).
OTHER NEWS
- Richard’s Adjournment Debate in Parliament is on the 13th.
- I’ve been asked to speak to Seaton WI on the 21st.
- We have a campaign website: seatonhospital.wordpress.com (my personal site will also carry news, but revert to its original title to avoid confusion). We’re also on Facebook – search Save Seaton Hospital.
- I am in the process of fixing a date for our first Steering Committee meeting.
Let me know if you’ve any suggestions for things we could be doing.
