Public meeting over ambulance station closure to be streamed due to huge demand
A public meeting over the planned closure of Oswestry's community ambulance station will be streamed online because of the huge interest in the town.
There were fears that people would find themselves unable to get a seat at the meeting that will be held on Monday at 7pm at the Wynnstay Hotel, which can hold 120 people.
Oswestry Town Council called the meeting because of significant concerns expressed by residents over the review of Community Ambulance Stations which led to the closure order for four stations in the county. Representatives from West Midlands Ambulance Service will be attending.
The service has said that all four community ambulance stations in Shropshire - Oswestry, Craven Arms, Bridgnorth and Market Drayton - will shut on October 4. After that all ambulances in the county will be based in either Shrewsbury and Telford.
