Nelson Court Privatised


Luton & Wayfield Councillor's and local businessman Jonathan Primett gathering signatures to oppose the Care Home closures


It is with great regret that Nelson Court Care Home was privatised by the Medway Cabinet last week.

We worked very hard with service users and with campaigners across the ward and beyond to safeguard this facility from a now uncertain future in the private sector.

Medway is on the verge of having no publicly owned care homes for people with extreme care requirements.

It is unacceptable that the most vulnerable have been made to suffer and we are standing by the staff, patients and local residents with an offer of support.

We will continue to stand up for the most vulnerable in our community.

Campaigning for Nelson Court


The ward team are supporting the campaign to safeguard services in Nelson Court on Nelson Road and other care facilities at Platters Farm, Robert Bean and the Balfour Centre unit.

Local campaigners and Councillors were at the Pentagon Centre yesterday collecting signatures to safeguard these facilities.

Please see below contributions from people living in the ward and those that use these facilities.
