More than 1,000 people have signed a petition calling on the emergency services to scrap plans to remove an ambulance from their town.
Residents in and around Alston have set up a petition asking the North West Ambulance Service to not get rid of the Alston Moor ambulance later this year.
"We had our own ambulance - an agency out of the local garage - for years and years and years," said Alix Martin from the Save Alston Moors ambulance group.
