Protesters have called a decision to close or sell off more care homes in Derbyshire "totally wrong", saying any plans to move elderly relatives would be harmful.Derbyshire County Council rubberstamped a decision to sell off Ada Belfield Centre in Belper and to stop residential and respite care at The Staveley Centre, in Staveley, and Thomas Fields in Buxton.

More than 5,000 people have signed a petition against the closure of the Ada Belfield Centre.Pam Cox said her 94-year-old mother, who is a resident at Ada Belfield, "wouldn't survive a move to another care home".The centres in Buxton and Staveley will now only provide hospital discharge beds.

Conservative councillor Natalie Hoy, cabinet member for adult care, said long-term residents should be able to stay in the event of a sale of Ada Belfield "at no extra cost".But Labour opposition group leader, councillor Joan Dixon, said she "is not convinced" people in the Staveley and Buxton homes would be able to stay.

She added some families had told her their relatives were already being moved.
