Keep Castle Grange residential home OPEN!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the concerned staff, residents, and supporters of Castle Grange Residential Home, urgently petition Kirklees Council to reconsider the impending closure of this vital facility. Castle Grange, serving our community for a decade, provides exceptional care and support to elderly residents.

Keeping Castle Grange Residential Home open is not just a matter of sentimentality; there are several compelling reasons why the government or Kirklees Council should prioritize its continued operation.

It is a moral duty to provide quality care for elderly and vulnerable citizens. Closure would disrupt their routines, potentially leading to emotional and physical deterioration.

Kirklees Council should explore alternative solutions to address their financial challenges.

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local authority run residential homes are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
