Friarage campaigners to hold ‘call to arms’ public meeting

Campaigners fighting changes at the Friarage Hospital will hold a public meeting this week to plan their next move.

The Save the Friarage Hospital group has taken legal advice about launching a judicial review over the replacement of the A&E with an urgent treatment centre.

The meeting on Friday will discuss ways of funding the legal action.

An online crowd funding appeal has been launched with the aim of raising £5,000.

More than £800 ha already been pledged to the cause.

Holly Wilkinson, the group’s founder, said: “We are having a call to arms so that anyone who has any ideas can come and share them.

“We are hoping to get sponsors for our crowd justice page. If a business wants to be a corporate sponsor it’s a minimum donation of £100 then the business receives a poster with our logo on it.”

The meeting will be held at 7pm on Friday at Northallerton Town Hall.

To get involved with the campaign group email savethefriaragehospital@gmail.com.

The crowdfunding link for donations is www.crowdjustice.com/case/savethefriarage
