A petition with more than 800 names is to be presented to health bosses by residents fighting for a GPs' surgery at Sovereign Harbour.

Residents lsay they are fed up having to travel miles across town to visit a doctor.

They want a surgery based near their homes at the harbour, which has more than 3,000 residents.

A purpose-built surgery at Limousin House in Kingsmere has been derelict for four years following a building error.

Residents now want it opened.

The petition is being presented this week to the Eastbourne Downs Primary Care Trust and North British Housing Association, which owns the site.
