A public consultation meeting on plans to rid Maryport hospital of its beds has been moved to a bigger venue.

The Success Regime, which is looking to change health services across north, east and West Cumbria, will be in Maryport next Wednesday to report on its findings and proposals, which include removing all beds from the town's cottage hospital.

The meeting, which had been planned for the Wave Centre, will now be held at the larger St Mary's Church.

A Success Regime spokesman said hearing loops would be available, along with a sign language interpreter.
