A MAMMOGRAPHY unit to test women for signs of breast cancer moved into a Thurrock hotel's car park.

It has been stationed in the car park of the Park Inn, North Stifford, for the past two weeks.

The unit was there to screen women aged between 40 and 70.

James Berry, 30, hotel general manager, said: "We are a responsible business which means supporting our local environment and community wherever possible.

"If they can't go to the vital facility, it can come to them."

The unit, operated by Nuffield Diagnostics, arrived at the Park Inn, on April 1.
