Hard on the heels of jailing an 80-year-old for council tax arrears, Green-led Brighton and Hove City Council is considering closing three group homes for people with learning disabilities.
Unison, which represents many of the workers in the service are joining with families of service users to fight this. We have raised an e-petition which can be found here

PLEASE SIGN IT - IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MOMENTS
It states:
We the undersigned believe that a proposal to close some group homes for adults
with learning disabilities is wrong. These people are some of the most
vulnerable living in our city and often have no voice of their own. They deserve
the same rights as any other citizen, that they be allowed to remain in their
own home as they choose. to remove them from their own home for financial
reasons is morally wrong and any move would have a detrimental effect on their
health and well-being. We call upon Brighton and Hove City Councillors to reject
this proposal.
