Huge Turnout for Hospital March

There was a huge turnout for the protest march against threatened cuts in Cornwall's hospital Services on Sunday, estimates put the number of marchers between 27,000 and 30,000 with many thousands more lining the route.

 

People from all over Cornwall gathered at Paradise Park and were addressed by local MP Andrew George. Mr George spoke with great passion laced with a hint of anger at the great injustice being suffered by health services in Cornwall.

Then with bands playing and to the sound of 'Trelawney' ringing out, the assembled throng made their way through the streets of Hayle to the Recreation Ground.

It was pleasing to see so many people of all ages marching in support of their local hospital services.
