Lifeline for closing care homes

It's emerged that several organisations have expressed interest in keeping Devon's care homes and day centres open... after the county council decided to shut them down.

The authority intends to buy in care from the private sector for the residents of the 20 homes, which include Arthur Roberts in Exeter and Davey Court in Exmouth.

The leader of the Lib Dem group, Councillor Alan Connett, thinks if some of the homes could be kept open, then that should be considered.
