A petition has been launched to help save an ambulance in a South Lakes town.
An ambulance has been operating in Grange-over-Sands and the Cartmel Peninsula from its base on Kent Banks Road for 20 years.
But the building will be unavailable to the North West Ambulance Service from next March and there are fears it will put the service in jeopardy.
Tim Farron, MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, has launched a petition to keep the service in the town.
He said: “This station is absolutely crucial to the people of Grange, the Cartmel Peninsula, and even further afield.
“If a new, suitable location for the service is not urgently found lives will be lost.”
He said he will write to both the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the ambulance service’s chief executive to seek a guarantee of no loss in service.
He added: “The people of Grange and the surrounding area need a guarantee that there will be a continuity of ambulance services in the area and that there will be no hiatus whilst a new location is found.”
The petition can be signed at Save Grange Ambulance (southlakeslibdems.org.uk)
