Lyric Square Save Our Hospitals Rally and Town Hall Video

Local MP Andy Slaughter speaking at the rally

LETRA attended the Save Our Hospitals rally at Lyric Square today. 
600 plus demonstrators turned out to hear a series of impassioned speakers, voice their opposition to the outcome of the NHS NW London's decision, to drastically reduce the facilities at Charing Cross and Hammersmith Hospitals.

Leading campaigner and local MP, Andrew Slaughter, was one of the main speakers at the peaceful meeting. Once the rally in the square had finished, protesters marched along King Street and gathered outside the Town Hall, where a second demo took place on the buildings front steps.
