I would like to present a petition against Leeds city council’s proposed closure of the Suffolk Court care home in Yeadon.

The petition states:

The Petition of a resident of the UK,

Declares that the Petitioner objects to the proposed closure of Suffolk Court Care Home in Yeadon; further that with the increase in numbers and age of older people in our community, Suffolk Court is a vital resource, providing security and practical care for those unable to be sustained at home by community services; further that closing Suffolk Court would undermine services to the elderly and vulnerable in Yeadon.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons call upon Leeds City Council to reassess its priorities and keep this essential service open.

And the Petitioner remains, etc.
