Save Alston Moor Ambulance. 

I have set up this petition to save our ambulance in Alston Moor.

We have been informed this morning that NWAS (North West Ambulance Service) have taken the decision to remove the Ambulance from Alston Moor. This will happen before winter and the ambulance crew will be made redundant, therefore leaving the newly recruited first responders without any support for at least an hour.

We need the ambulance because of the unique rural setting we live in, for response times from Penrith or Carlisle can be anything from 40-60 minutes often much longer, our ambulance can be on the scene within 6-15 minutes.

In critical life threatening situations these response times are crucial to saving lives. Without our local ambulance that we have had for 47 years potentially lives will be lost.

Please can you sign and share this petition.

Thank you.
