THIS plan to close council-run care homes in Lancashire is ill-conceived, ill-prepared and the entire Labour group of Lancashire County Council must be sick in the head.

I wonder how much money would be saved if we did not give the county councillors their lap-tops to play with or cut down on entertainment allowances at County Hall.

Look again, councillors, where you can save money, but don't make our old age pensioners suffer while you live the life of Riley.
