WHAT devastating news. Four years and more than £350,000 wasted after City of York Council scraps the “Super care homes plan” (The Press, February 24).
This decision comes after the sale of the once fantastically council-managed care home Oliver House, which is not mentioned in your report.
This was a special place as it provided accommodation to married couples. I cannot imagine why Oliver House and the other condemned residential homes were not modernised.
Let’s face it, the council can find £9.5 million for a digital centre.
So how can we resolve bed blocking now? This is a very serious issue. One would have thought before closing any care homes foundations were at least being laid to solve this problem.
