The countess of Chester’s neonatal unit is a small unit who do an incredible job saving the lives of premature babies and helping parents cope with these life changing situations.

The baby grow appeal raised £2.4 million pounds to fund a new build, to extend this unit in order to continue the incredible work. 

The proposal has now been rejected because residents believes the new build will overshadow her house, therefore the council have stated the new build would be “over bearing” for residents. An extension to save the lives of babies is being rejected because a back garden view may be altered. This is wrong. 

This build is needed. For sick babies, vulnerable babies, babies like my son. For vulnerable parents, scared parents, parents like me.

Please sign and help have this decision reconsidered. This will improve the chances and lives of sick babies and their parents.
