PROTESTERS have handed in another petition against changes to maternity services at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

More than 4,000 people put their names to forms circulated by Liberal Democrats.

They were handed to health bosses by Crosland Moor and Netherton councillor Shahida Awan.

She said: "A full range of maternity services should be kept at the hospital."

Under the proposals only a midwife-led unit would remain in Huddersfield.

About 50,000 people have signed petitions opposing a move of crucial services to Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax.

Hundreds of people took to the streets of Huddersfield in two protest marches held to protest against the changes.

Clr Awan proposed a motion last November urging Kirklees Council to fight the plans.

Health bosses are due to decide next month whether to go ahead with the changes.
