Newton House is the ONLY short stay Respite Home in Bath and North East Somerset for adults and children with serious disabilities, severe medical needs, and those who require 24/7 care. It is an essential life line service for the users and families.
This home gives much needed respite and care to families who have severely disabled people to support, and to the most vulnerable people, who have no voice, so didn't vote for this.
Its is Bathnes’ ONLY home in the area, so it’s very important that this is not allowed to shut, especially without any consultation, or anything else to replace it in the area. These families need respite care; it is not a luxury, but an essential service for people with severe needs and those who care for them. 
This proposal is a cost-saving measure only and once lost, it’s gone forever. This terrible decision has been made at a very local level, under the Liberal Democrat council, without any consideration for service users and carers. There is no proposed alternative provision, leaving families totally bereft of help and support.  
Please show your much needed support and sign the petition.
Thanks
