I write to vent my feeling to the closures of Abbotsbury and Chickerell Road surgeries.

I feel that the local authorities should consider the implications of this closure as 9,000 people will have to be shared around the remaining doctors in the area which will mean that no one will be able to get an appointment for love not money.

Instead of spending local taxes on various consultants fees and painting underpasses ECT the money would be better placed providing adequate medical services in a rapidly expanding area of houses being built every where our services are already over stretched.

Come on local government get your act together
