Hospital campaign hits 1,000 signature milestone
First 1,000 residents back additional site for Stepping Hill in town centre
Urgent repairs are needed for Stepping Hill Hospital, with buildings being condemned, corridors flooded, and light fittings falling out of ceilings. Sign our petition to tell the Department of Health to fund the critical repairs that are needed today, and a long-term plan for tomorrow. With an estimated £130 million backlog of repairs, we need urgent funding today, and a long-term development plan for a new, additional site in the centre of Stockport, located near the transport interchange.
