Rally to protect Derbyshire Care Homes
February 11 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Derbyshire County Council has announced the closure of eight care homes for older people after their sale to the private sector fell through. Fifty elderly residents are to lose their homes and over two hundred staff will lose their jobs.
We do not believe the closure of these excellent buildings, the loss of their dedicated staff and the eviction of these elderly residents is in anyone’s best interests.
As part of our campaign to save these homes we will be holding a rally at County Hall, Matlock before the next full meeting of the council. We will be calling on the leadership of Derbyshire County Council to rethink this decision.
There will be banners, placards and hot drinks.
Please join the rally if you can and make your voice heard.
Our comrade, Paul Liversuch will be there, so come along and support him and the rally.
WHEN: 1PM Wednesday 11 February
WHERE: The terrace, County Hall, Matlock, DE4 3AG
