I am a mother who gave birth to my beautiful son at St Peter's hospital just 10 weeks ago. The personal care and attention I received there was unparalleled; they treated me as an individual, not just another number. Every expecting mother should have the opportunity to experience their birth in the way they want, and St Peter's provides that.

St Peter’s hospital is not just a building; it is an institution that serves our community in Maldon, UK. It is currently under threat of closure which would leave many without immediate access to crucial medical services. The alternative proposed - investing in a new hospital within the Dengie area - has yet to be confirmed or initiated.

St Peter’s has a vital role within our community. If it closes down without any replacement facility being established first, thousands of expectant mothers could be left without local maternity services.
