The closure threat for Suffolk's care homes

Suffolk County Council has indentified six care homes as suitable for early closure. We speak to the councillor responsible.

And we visit Suffolk's "Hanging Barn" near Haleworth.

As Suffolk County Council publishes plans to close adult care homes we speak to the councillor in charge of Adult and Community Services, Colin Noble, who defends the policy. The union UNISON tells us vulnerable people will suffer if the proposals go ahead.

Our reporter Guy Campbell looks around a holiday home with a difference: The Hanging Barn near Halesworth. Plus Luke Deal visits two other unusual places to stay in the county; Lavenham's Tudor Barn and the Martello Tower in Aldeburgh.

This programme is a repeat. Please listen carefully as our text and phone lines may have closed and you may still be charged. Enjoy the show!
