00:00So we're here today to celebrate the high quality of Ady Belfield's care home.

00:08We're protesting because we feel the council have made bad decisions over the last four years

00:13which has led them to close down important assets like Ady Belfield.

00:16Ady Belfield's a care home in Melbourne and it's a really high quality one.

00:21About four years ago, £11 million was spent building it,

00:26and now they're closing it off to the highest bidder, which is his brother.

00:31So it's important that so many people are concerned about this and have gathered here today

00:35to ask the council to change their decision and to not privatise Ady Belfield.
