"Be in no doubt – there are going to be winners and losers when the [New Hospital Programme] review is published. Basingstoke needs to be among the winners – for its people, its businesses, and their future health, well-being and prosperity."

Former Gazette editor Mark Jones, now partnerships manager at Destination Basingstoke, has backed the new hospital petition and is urging people to sign. 

"The people of Basingstoke – whether you live or work here – can make a difference by making it loud and clear that we are united in wanting clarity and confirmation that we are going to get our new hospital. Please make your voice heard by signing the petition and getting behind The Gazette campaign today."
