Hi, this has nothing to do with electric bikes (apart from my Son may at some point follow in his Dad's pedals and ride one!)

But the Children's Heart Centre at Glenfield in Leics is threatened with closure. A petition has been set up to force a parliamentary discussion, but we need to get 100,000 signatures

This is very personal to me as the dedicated team there saved my son Iwan's life earlier this year (he has a congenital heart condition). The official line is that having more specialised, but less, children's heart centres in the UK will create a better service. However what they fail to mention is that each of the current centres over performs, which backs up my own experience (and that of every parent I have ever spoken with). Plus, there is real concern that the the increased distances children will have to travel could put their already fragile lives even more at risks

So please sign (and share) as time is of the essence:
Save Childrens Cardiac Surgery at the EMCHC at Glenfield Leicester - e-petitions

Thanks

Done it Jason. It's a hugely important piece of the NHS and one rather close to home in my case so I'm more than happy to add my name to the petition.

Regards,
Indalo

I have signed and wish you lots of luck and good wishes, not only with the petition but with the continuing, improving good health of your son.

I also have signed the petition and hope that it will have a impact on the continuance of such a vital service.

Hi, I've been abit snowed under with things the last few weeks and not had a chance to check out pedelecs. So thanks for the comments and for signing the petition. Local MPs managed to secure a short debate just prior to the Summer recess and the County Councils affected have discussed and agreed to write to Lansley to ask for a totally independent review, as a lot of things simply do not add up

I will keep you all posted

Not sure why it's doing that. It's the govts official e-petition site

It maybe your internet security?

I use Panda and it works fine for me
