The proposed closure of the surgery in Ticehurst, East Sussex, will have an enormous impact on medical care in Ticehurst, Wadhurst, Flimwell, Stonegate and Wallcrouch. It will force people to travel to Wadhurst for treatment and to see a GP. For many people travel and access is challenging. Wadhurst Surgery lacks space and convenient parking and the closure of Ticehurst Surgery will put unmanageable pressure on Wadhurst surgery affecting people in all the surrounding villages.

We the undersigned want the closure of Ticehurst Surgery stopped and for any redevelopment of Newington Court, where Ticehurst Surgery is located to have the provision of replacement medical facilities as a condition of any new planning permission. The developers should fund alternative premises for a surgery in Ticehurst during any closure.
