HOSPITAL staff will walk from Lexden ward to leafy Lexden to raise funds.

The 10km walk on Friday, June 30 will raise cash for the antenatal and postnatal ward at Colchester General Hospital.

Ward sister Louise Hawkins said all staff wanted to create a homely environment for parents and babies by purchasing new furniture.
