Probe call over £3m spend on care homes

In the home that is still operational Our Place, on Harboro Road - of its 39 beds, only 16 can currently be occupied because of fire safety restrictions, it was revealed at the council's executive meeting.

Conservative group leader Coun Nathan Evans made the claims following a report highlighting issues at the home. It said the council owns the facility, although service delivery is provided by an independent third party. Trafford council paid £2.16m for the home in March 2020 and bought another on Broad Road in Sale for an unknown sum before a refurbishment.
