Devastating news for so many in the elderly and disabled community. Really hope these care homes and Osmnondrhorpe HUB can stay open. Very sad for residents, service users and staff!

What a way to treat frontline staff after risking their lives to care for some of the most vulnerable people in society. I know the pandemic has had an effect on everyone, but to potentially lose your livelihood at any time is devastating. I hope that GMB fight this all the way.

This is such a remarkable facility which is not available in many parts of the country. It would be a tragedy to lose it.

Why is Richmond House care home proposed for closure by Leeds City Council while they are still funding services for people leaving hospital and awaiting re-assessment and review of their care plans in private care homes? This out-sourcing and privatisation should stop in order to save money and preserve the community facilities for rehabilitation and recovery of Leeds people.

LCC must demand emergency funding from the Tory government. Our local authorities have been starved of funds for too long! End austerity now.

Why would the council sell their care homes when there is an intensive demand to house older people and those with disabilities? This in the long run will add additional pressures to local authorities service in the future. Also jobs will be lost in the process. What will happen to tenants and occupants who have had to use these types of facilities prior awaiting discharge for health reasons.

The elderly in these care homes are in the midst of a pandemic, they now should not be losing their homes.
LCC front line staff have risked their lives to keep these people safe, so we need to fight to keep their jobs.

The Tories clearly do not care about the elderly, vulnerable and hard working public sector workers.
