ORGANISERS of one of the town's biggest fetes have announced they hope to raise up to £11,000 to buy a piece of life-saving medical equipment for the Alexandra Hospital.

The news comes from the hospital's League of Friends, who are busy preparing for this year's Alexandra Hospital Fete on Saturday, July 7.

Members, together with hospital staff, are hoping to fund a new defibrillator and monitoring system for the A&E department.
