Protest over council's Aberystwyth care home closure plans
- Published
Bodlondeb has been operating at a loss of nearly £400,000 per year
About 150 people have taken part in a march against plans to close a care home in Ceredigion.
The council is set to decide on Tuesday whether to close Bodlondeb in Aberystwyth, with the loss of 33 jobs.
The council had been to take it on since 2015, but failed to secure a bid which met requirements.
Over 600 people have signed a petition against the closure.
A similar march was held in move.
Ceredigion Council is due to make a decision on the future of the home at a meeting on Tuesday. If closed its 13 residents would have to move to another home.
A report considered by the council earlier this year said the home had been operating at a loss of nearly £400,000 per year - more than £7,600 per week.
It would need significant investment to continue operating.
