Hampshire county council is looking to invest £173 million into new nursing homes. But it would mean closing seven traditional care homes. The council says its because of changing needs in adult social care. But relatives of those in the care homes marked for closure say they don't want to lose the facilities. Mick Channon, former England and Southampton footballer has helped with a petition to save Bishops Waltham house where his mum lives.
