The Lilacs Care Home, North Lincolnshire

Nicholas Dakin Excerpts

Tuesday 17th December 2013 Commons Chamber

[Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe) (Lab)]

I would like to pay tribute to the hard work that Councillors Sandra Bainbridge and Tony Ellerby have done in leading this petition to defend an asset in their ward.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of Scunthorpe,

Declares that the Petitioners are very disappointed by the ruling of the Conservative group of North Lincolnshire Council that they intend to close The Lilacs care home despite it being a manifesto promise of theirs to not do so.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons requests the Government to urge North Lincolnshire Council to rethink their decision and consider the impact that this closure will have on local residents.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
