Place Court online petition up and running
Monday, 31st January 2011.
Haverhill Town Council's online petition to save Place Court care home in Haverhill from being sold off is now up and running.
Independent town councillor Margaret Marks is urging residents to sign, because 500 signatures would bring about a public meeting.
Cllr Marks said: "Suffolk County Council is planning to sell off all its Care Homes. Place Court is one of the only homes which provides essential respite care in Haverhill.
"It has a wonderful reputation for the level of care it provides and we are concerned that this building will not be of the type and age that will be attractive to private owners.
"With a growing elderly population there will be a greater need for such establishments. There is already a shortage in Haverhill.
"We need at least 500 signatures to ask for a public meeting. Please help us to achieve this by going on to the website and signing
the petition."
