MORE than 300 letters protesting at the planned cuts at Evesham Community Hospital were being posted off to the offices of health secretary Patricia Hewitt.
Evesham Mayor Frances Smith and Journal editor John Murphy are enclosing covering letters, calling on the government to intervene and prevent the plans to close two wards and curtail services by a third - proposed by the South Worcestershire Primary Care Trust - from going ahead.
The steady flow of letters and the avalanche of petition signatures have continued since the Battle of Evesham 2005 was launched by the Journal just a month ago.
