THE petition calling for the Portland District Health helipad to be reopened is attracting considerable interest within the community, however the Member for South-West Coast Roma Britnell is urging more Portlanders to get behind the push.

Ms Britnell’s office has indicated that thus far more than 750 people have signed the petitions which are available outside a number of local businesses, but with another month before the petition is set to be tabled in parliament there is still more time for those interested to get behind it.
