A publicity campaign, informing the residents of west London that their local hospital A&E services are closing, has been met with alarm and dismay by local people.

Health bosses have been accused of deploying ‘Orwellian’-tactics by misleading patients in a £400,000 publicity campaign which claims that A&E units are ‘changing’ when in fact they are closing.

As part of a bold new approach to reduce town hall spending, Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) Council approved £4million of in-year savings.

A delegation from H&F Council has met with health chiefs to demand that they halt plans to demolish Charing Cross Hospital and replace local A&Es.

Evidence uncovered of worrying failures with the new special needs transport service – which the new council Leader has described as ‘horrific’.

Local people in H&F now have a crucial part to play in helping shape council policies, after the borough’s new administration took steps to give residents a greater voice in the decision-making process.

Local residents and businesses to drive fresh approach.

A proposal to take local planning powers away on one of the capital’s biggest housing projects are ‘an anti-democratic land grab’ which gives the potential for the Mayor to allow the building of properties for overseas speculators rather than homes Londoners can afford, according to Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
