SIR: I am writing to you about the closure of Stocks Park home and day centre.

What are the council thinking about? It seems it is not the elderly. They get settled into a home, which is already difficult for them, only to be moved on - to where?

What has happened to the money for the home? Is it going to be used as a residential home for Stocks Park School? A remand home? We need answers, but don't get any.

We are asking the readers of the Bolton Evening News for their support. Who knows, it could be a home in your area which is next.

S Merrick,

Stocks Park Drive,

Horwich, Bolton.
