The County Council is proposing to close New Tyne residential care home for people in Worthing with dementia.
A petition has been launched to save New Tyne. Anyone can sign it, but we particularly need signatures from people who either live, work or study within West Sussex. If you work or study in West Sussex, but don’t live in the county, sign the petition but give the postal address of your workplace or place of study. That way your support will count towards the statutory threshold we need to clear to be able to address a Full Council meeting.
Please sign the petition here:

UNISON advises its members that it is perfectly fine and safe for anyone who works for WSCC or a West Sussex maintained school to sign our petition. It will not cause a problem for your employment. All members, including retired members, can sign it. The petition already has over 1,000 signatures! After signing, please share it on your social media.
