Stop James Dixon Residential Home in Netherton, L30 0QY being closed

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

James Dixon Residential Home in Netherton is under threat of closing by Your Housing Group despite it being the only residential care available in our local area. James Dixon provides affordable, good quality care to our local community.
James Dixon has been graded 'good' in all areas with the CQC. Other home surrounding our local area have either been graded 'inadequate' or are full. Your Housing Group has stated the home is running at a loss, however, these figures included one offcosts such as decorating and are for a period when the home was running at only 70% capacity. We need government help to stop these elderly people being evicted from there homes and save this vital service.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This residential home is operated by a private company and the UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for their decisions.
