Closed petition Fund creation of a new central hospital for East Kent in the City of Canterbury

Closed on 17 March 2021

The Government needs to ENSURE that East Kent gets a new hospital at its' centre point in CANTERBURY. It has a growing population, over a MILLION visitors and 50000+ students needing a DECENT hospital. Travel times must be taken into account for SAFETY and especially for elderly residents.

East Kent is a large and growing area with one very old hospital in Canterbury which we believe is not fit for purpose and is in a crumbling state. Canterbury is at the CENTRE of East Kent, has over a MILLION visitors each year and 50000+ student population who deserve something better. Travel times have become dangerous from one side of the area to another and the growing elderly population are not taken into account. Staff, patients and visitors work / reside in grim conditions at the current hospital.
