CAMPAIGNERS battling to keep Andover's New Street Medical Centre open have won a reprieve after health bosses agreed to hold talks with them and MP Sir George Young.

Mid Hampshire Primary Care Trust chairman Bridget Phelps agreed to delay a decision and hold talks with Sir George and the patients committee, chaired by Mr Roger Pullman, at a public meeting called by campaigners and attended by nearly 70 people.

The concession came after Sir George called for more flexibility within the PCT in a bid to reach a solution.
