A petition has been launched. Following the decision to close De Lacy House as Council-run Care facility, and the subsequent approval of the North Lincs Council Planning Committee to approve the demolition of the facility, the Winterton Town Council, Senior Citizen's Forum, Winterton Improvement Network and Winterton Disabled Club have come together with other members of our community to Save De Lacy House - the campaign is non-party political, cross-community and numbers residents of all ages.
Action petitioned for: "The residents of North Lincolnshire signing the petition, call upon North Lincolnshire Council to allow De Lacy House to be retained for the benefit of the community and also call upon NLC to consider options to be put forward by community groups for care provision in the Winterton and surrounding areas, to include all aspects of care, including respite, day and 24-hour residential care."
Residents wishing to sign the petition will find copies in the township. Some volunteers will also call on residents at home to give them an opportunity to sign the petition if they so wish. The deadline for the petition is 30th April 2013. At least 1,500 signatures are required to trigger a full North Lincolnshire Council meeting to debate the future of De Lacy House as stated above.
UPDATE - The petition is now closed and will be submitted on Monday 13 May 2013 to North Lincolnshire Council.
