I FEEL I must defend Cllr Hawker and his participation in health care matters in respect of Westbury.

Cllr Hawker has been an active campaigner on all health care issues in Westbury, he was one of the founders of the successful second doctor's surgery campaign and has been an active stalwart over the hospital issue, having attended all the events except one and he had the grace to phone in his apologies.

I feel credit should be given where credit is due.

C Finbow, Westbury
