Dozens of campaigners will be rallying outside a Margate hospital later - to fight the closure of its stroke unit.

Three Kent hospitals have been chosen to run specialist services, but the QEQM isn't one of them.

Save Our NHS in Kent say they're worried people in Thanet will have to travel one hour to Ashford - where the unit would be moved to - if the decision is approved in December.

Carly Jeffrey is from the campaign group.
