Rosemary Thew has been campaigning to keep Blakeney Surgery open for local residents.
Holt Medical Practice, which runs Blakeney Surgery, has applied to Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board to close the site.Rosemary Thew, the chairman of Blakeney Parish Council, said: "It is a bit of progress, but it is a bit late and a bit narrower than we would have liked."
It currently operates as a drop-in reception and medication collection hub five mornings a week, while patients travel to Melton Constable or Holt for their appointments.Holt Medical Practice has claimed that the cost of running the site was more than it received in funding. It added that the building needed improvements worth £116,000 to bring it up to modern standards.
"We feel we have a much worse service than people in Holt or Melton Constable and just because we live in a rural area, we shouldn't be disadvantaged."At a meeting of the Norfolk and Waveney ICB on 13 February, the board voted to delay making a decision on the future of the branch until it had consulted further on measures to mitigate the effects of the closure.
