Since plans were announced by Calderdale Primary Care Trust for the new centre in Birds Royd Lane, Brighouse, patients at Chapel Croft have voiced their concerns.
The PCT plans to build the new centre to replace the existing one in Lawson Road, and incorporate surgeries at Chapel Croft, Rastrick, and Rydings Hall and Church Lane in Brighouse.
Rachel Smith, technician at C. E. Naylor's Pharmacy said: "It would be difficult getting to Birds Royd, walking or driving. There is no direct public transport and wheelchair access would be poor.
"We think they are starting to listen. They wouldn't have done the consultation unless we had backed them into a corner."
Patient Geoffrey Barlow said: "I don't think they realise how frightened people are to travel down there. There is only one bus that runs to the Birds Royd area and there is no crossing for people to get across Huddersfield Road."
Councillor Paul Rogan (Eng Dem, Rastrick) accepted the petition and will present it to the Mayor at the full council meeting next Wednesday at the Town Hall, Halifax at 6pm. He is urging patients to attend the meeting to show the strength of feeling.
