I AM delighted to read that emergency services will be staying at the Alexandra Hospital in the local press but would urge everyone to carry on the fight.

I sincerly hope this brings to an end any more attempts to close this wonderful hospital and ensures this area will be served for many years to come.

I am sure the residents in Worcester are also delighted that their new hospital will not be weighed down by residents of Bromsgrove and Redditch.

I hope the news on maternity services will be just as postive and allow the staff at the Alex to continue their wonderful work, I certainly do not fancy a trek over to Worcester for scans and the like.

Congratulations to everyone who showed their support at all the meetings organised, to our MP Julie Kirkbride for her efforts and to the local newspapers for standing up and representing our views so well. Please leave the hospital alone now and in the future and let's not find ourselves here again!
