Bartlet Convalescent Home must be saved for Suffolk

Community members who care about the future of healthcare in Suffolk have launched a petition on the Prime Minister's website, at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SaveTheBartlet/

Everyone is urged to sign this petition.

It is outrageous that the local health authority (PCT) can sell off an asset bequethed to the people of Suffolk, along with sufficient funds to keep it running for ever. This is just a measly, short-sighted, ploy to raise funds to clear supposed debts.

Local residents are planning a High Court action to save this lovely building, which has an invaluable role, providing respite care.

Join with them, and pledge your support.

Felixstowe Radio recently spoke to Mike Ninnmey and Harry Dangerfield, members of the action group, at http://www.felixstoweradio.co.uk/content/view/288/32/

The Action Group's website is at http://www.bbag.felixstowecommunity.co.uk/about.html.
