Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to close care homes and day centres
Lancashire's Reform-run council is facing backlash for its controversial decision to close five council-run care homes and five day centres, aiming to save £4 million annually. Critics argue that this move, which shifts residents to private care, is akin to 'selling off the family silver.' The situation is particularly distressing for residents, including a 92-year-old woman who expressed her unwillingness to leave her home unless forcibly removed. This decision raises significant concerns about the quality of care and the potential conflict of interest, as a council member owns a private care company.
