KJ Sprowston
W & RK Blofield - Keep our hospital in the city.
NL Norwich - For everyone in our county and city it is in their interest for it to be in the city and for all the staff.

DD Norwich - A hospital (especially with A&E) needs to be easily accessible to the people of Norwich.
Mr & Mrs SP Wroxham - Save money, refurbish N&N and West Norwich Hospitals. We need more hospital beds for our growing population, not less and in a central location.

JE Norwich
JAL Dereham - Would involve 4 bus journeys to get to any appointments.
MD Ludham - If the problem of car parking can be solved then the present site would be for most suitable for people coming from county areas - transport to Colney would present big problems.
LP Norwich
Mr & Mrs V Costessey - Keep it in Norwich please.
SG Stalham - Wonderful wonderful. People who work there. Please keep it in town.
MD Norwich - Spending money on the wrong areas. More beds are needed.
AB Blofield Heath - A stupid waste of time and money to put a hospital out of reach of the patients.

SH Thorpe
FR New Costessey
JH Fakenham - Better ambulance access needed.
SB Larling - A better ambulance service is required. Keep hospital in city!!
RD Norwich - It is unfair on people without cars to move hospital out of city. At present it is easy to access via public transport. We should be encouraging people to use buses instead of cars which is easier if hospital is in centre. Also, at present, a trip to hospital can be combined with a treat - trip to museum etc. - good for child patients.
MW Hellesdon
CMC Norwich
AB Norwich
MB Norwich - Too far out of city.
LS Norwich
SFB Norwich
AGB Norwich

SB Norwich - Keep it in the city.
KL Norwich - The N&N must remain in the city.
L Taverham - Waste money.
NC Norwich - The move is ill conceived.
CD Norwich - A hospital should be accessible to the people it serves. Colney will mean car dependency.
DH Norwich
Mr & Mrs BL Thorpe End
JJ Norwich - Too far out of Norwich for older people.
DU Hellesdon - Essential for hospitals to be in city centre because of cost of bus fares for people who have to make two journeys and city centre site is central to people throughout the county.
JM Blofield Heath - Many visitors and patients represent the most vulnerable in our society and more often than not do not have access to their own transport. The cost implications of the move have not been thought through sufficiently and my view is that a rebuild on the existing site is more cost effective.
JH Flordon - Keep our hospital where it is reasonably accessible to all !!!
SB Weybread - Easy access for those who have no transport. Best place to keep it.
PB Weybread - Difficult to get to Colney as I have no transport. The hospital is part of the city.

BB Sprowston
RB Croydon
MRS Fakenham - Hospitals need to be accessible and central.
Mr & Mrs G Norwich - Traffic pollution is already back on our road.
RDM Holt
HB Long Stratton - Time to stop excessive reliance on cars. Just look at the Earth Summit II + frightening statistics of global warming. Also it is too far out for old, poor (no car) & disabled. And stop building on green field sites.
MAR Cringleford - Hospitals should be in centre of city, so that people from all areas have easy access by whatever means of transport.
SJH Norwich - Why change that which already works.
MB Taverham - Moving hospital (or supermarkets) to the outskirts (or the outskirts of the outskirts) is not going to reverse the car culture.
Mr & Mrs S Attleborough - Centralised and better access for all.

Mr & Mrs F Norwich - We thought this country had a democracy and carried out the will of the people. We need our hospital where it is!
SM Norwich - Keep it where it is now.
GTW Norwich - Moving this hospital will make access for patients in Norwich more difficult. Access for patients from outside Norwich can be made easier by improved parking arrangements eg the new silo storage method for motor cars.
RS Caister St Edmund - 3 bus rides with a toddler + a baby not possible! Why not use the Rountree's site, convert an eyesore in the centre.

PJB Brundall - The hospital should remain where the population is not in a green belt.

LR Norwich - Both my daughters were born at the N&N. Although I live near Colney I have used A&E whilst in the city as my daughter is a severe asthmatic.
CS Norwich - It is essential that N&N remain in centre Norwich. I have met nobody who is in favour of Colney site. Please listen to the people of Norwich.
