from Jonathan Davies for Mid Derbyshire https://ift.tt/oqengKJ
I want to commend everyone who made the case for saving Briar Close House this morning.
Briar Close House is a care home for older people, including those living with dementia, in Borrowash.
It faces closure by its owner, Derbyshire County Council.
I do not support the council’s proposal.
Older people deserve dignity, and it is not clear whether Briar Close’s residents will continue to receive residential care close to their families and friends if the home closes.
I also doubt whether this decision would realise a saving for the council in the long term.
If I am elected on Thursday, I will continue to make the case for saving Briar Close House.
