The legal process to save Bowles Lodge is over but the spirit of Bowles Lodge lives on!

This blog is about a campaign I led to prevent Lancashire County Council closing the care home my Mum lived in. We lost our case in the High Court but decision-makers at local and national level were made aware of the devastating consequences of moving elderly people - no matter how carefully it is done. Mum was moved and, sadly, died eight months later. The blog is dedicated to her precious memory. Love you Mum.

Diggers arrive at Bowles Lodge


Yesterday local residents and elderly people attending the Day Centre contacted me to say how shocked and upset they were at the site of diggers and workman arriving at Bowles Lodge!

It seems they are digging holes - maybe to test the ground to see the type of foundations that may be required if the new two-storey building gos ahead.

Kent County Council have said time and time again that this is a consultation but this kind of activity, that must cost money, is another indication that plans seem to be far advanced.

Evidently they will be there again today so, if you have a camera pop down and grab some evidence!
