Hartlepool, a small once-industrial town in the North East, saw a massive demo on Saturday 10 January. The local hospital faces closure and people are angry about it.
Sue Little has no experience of campaigning, but she was determined to kick up a fuss and organised a demo for 10 January. On the day, about 700 people marched four miles in blustery weather chanting "Save our hospital", "No ifs no buts no NHS cuts", and "NHS not for sale".
Sue Little is now organising regular "pickets" of the hospital.
