Campaigners fighting to save Maryport's community hospital are meeting tonight to discuss future plans for the unit.

It follows a decision taken by the Success Regime - the government-appointed body in charge of improving healthcare in Cumbria - to close all 13 beds there.

The Save Our Beds campaign is putting forward their own proposals to health bosses in a bid to stop the beds from being removed.

The meeting takes place this evening at the Ewanrigg Community Centre.
