Proposing to build in Allhallows overlooks the critical shortage of essential facilities for the elderly. The village has one small nursing home, which very rarely has spaces and will soon close down. The alternative is a similarly inadequate facility in Stoke, which has also faced closure threats for years. There is a notable absence of supported housing and accommodation for older persons. As I live with my parents, both in their 60s and in poor health, the lack of care facilities means I will have to pause my life to care for them, highlighting the urgent need for better provision.
