Rejected petition Keep the A&E at the William Harvey hospital in Ashford, Kent

Keep the A&E department at the William Harvey hospital in Ashford and do not move it to Canterbury

More details

the A&E in William Harvey is so close to the M20 and the port at Dover and ashford international railway station at Ashford and of course now the new huge Lorry Park if there was a international incident or some horrible accident involving the locomotives or trains going through the International Station. Speaking as an ex ambulance driver it would be a better idea to have a closer Hospital to these potential hotspots.
