WALLINGFORD town councillor Lynda Atkins is asking Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust to reopen Wallingford Hospital's closed minor injury unit as a first aid unit.
She said: "Other options would mean a lengthy consultation process, which would not start until September because this is the summer holiday period, and then would last three months.
"That would leave Wallingford and the surrounding villages without a unit for far too long."
The decision will be made at a primary care trust meeting in Banbury.
