Fantastic, good luck to all those who have campaigned for their respite centres.
I've been approached by quite a few residents who have explained what an invaluable resource they are and so I fully support their petition. One gentleman told me that they had been offered money to cushion the blow of closure but he said quite emphatically that they don't want money, they want the time that Hargreaves House gives them.
The councillors who voted to shut two of them down should at least have the good grace to admit they made an error of judgement. Admitting to residents that you have changed your mind based on the weight of evidence presented to you goes down far better than pretending you were in favour all along.
Or is that just my naivety at work again?
