Green Party MEP Caroline Lucas
Green Party MEP Caroline Lucas is to lend her support to a campaign to safeguard hospital services in East Sussex.
Thousands of people have signed petitions and taken part in rallies in opposition to plans to downgrade key services at hospitals in Eastbourne and St Leonards.
Ms Lucas, the Green Party's MEP for the South-East, will visit Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne to add her name alongside the thousands of people who have signed petitions.
She will also meet members of the Save the District General Hospital campaign team and hear about plans to create a community council for the harbour.
