RESIDENTS in Bromsgrove that oppose the cuts to NHS services are being urged to join one of their district councillors in a national demonstration.

Councillor Sean Shannon will be travelling to London alongside Bromsgrove Labour Party vice chairman Julie Wright for the National Demonstration to save our NHS on Saturday, March 4.

The protest is set to take place in Tavistock Square in central London at 12pm, before the march to the Palace of Westminster.

Cllr Shannon, who represents Charford ward, said: "Let Bromsgrove be seen and heard demonstrating their concerns for our vital NHS services."

Julie added: "We must fight to save the NHS from destruction. The threat is real, and it is happening now. We see our hospitals, GPs, mental health, ambulances and community services on their knees."

Subsidised coaches will be running from Redditch, Worcester, Wyre Forest, Evesham and Bromsgrove. Information can be found at ournhs.info or by contacting ionhs@gmail.com.
