School children in Grantham have written to the Prime Minister and local hospital trust urging them to reopen the town's Accident and Emergency department full time.

It's just under a year since the hospital unit was closed overnight due to a shortage of doctors.

Staff at Belton Lane Primary School say the letters written by pupils aged 8 and 9 reflect the level of concern in the community.
