The local health authority confirmed that ambulances will be stationed in Solihull 24 hours a day starting now. Your pressure forced this change and secured the safety of our neighborhood. Keep an eye on our local services to ensure this commitment holds firm.

I have lived in Solihull for 30yrs and pay my rates etc: I have needed an emergency ambulance '' 3 '' times in the last 7 yrs!!! My life could well be at RISK without a local service!! Don't Kill me off yet!!!!!!!!!!
If you choose to live in a rural location, part of the trade off is that essential services are likely to be further away. Solihull has a population of over 100,000 - it needs a locally based ambulance and fire service.
I can also support the comments from Yvonne Cahill. This area also has an enlargeing rural community and it has very heavy traffic problems. It would be so easy to have cover stationed at local hospitals. Come on management take your head out the clouds.
I live in Solihull and am shocked to hear that my nearest ambulance station is now in Erdington. Anyone who knows Birmingham and it's surrounding area will be aware of the traffic congestion that occurs on a daily basis. It is madness to think that an ambulance would have to cross city in inevitable traffic jams to reach a serious ill patient. especially as I have 2 local hospitals within easy reach. I do not feel confident, now, that if I were to need ambulance transportation to hospital in an emergency that an ambulance would reach me in adequate time. Please re-think this ludicrous decision.
It is not possible to provide emergency cover to any accidents or serious health issues in the Solihull area if ambulances are expected to travel through heavy traffic from Erdington and then be expected to transport the patients back again to Heartlands.
It is totally ridiculous not to have an ambulance station based in Solihull, lives are put at risk by not having cover any closer than Erdington. It is not working as recent news has shown.
For an area as large as Solihull we need ambulances stationed here and not being 5 miles away in Erdington!

This is one of the most important services to all age groups. I have a son with a medical condition, which I have not had to use the ambulance service yet! One day I might need that service. Please please please please keep as many ambulances available, to help all people within and around the Solihull area. Thankyou
