Dudley Council care homes to shut

Three of the last remaining council-run care homes in Dudley will close over the next three years, it was announced today.

Dudley Council plans to shut New Bradley Hall in Kingswinford, New Bridge House in Coseley and New Swinford Hall in Stourbridge by April 2014.

The homes have a total of 63 beds, which are a mixture of long and short stay.
