A petition calling for a community hospital or walk in centre in Witham has been launched.
County councillor James Abbott believes the town's health facilities will not be able to cope as up to 1,500 homes are built in the coming years.
He is calling on the Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, Essex County Council and Braintree Council to ensure a community hospital or walk in centre must is built at the earliest opportunity.
