It is with great sadness that the Town Council learnt this morning of a number of deaths at Gainsborough Care Home. Town Mayor, Cllr Tina Foster said ‘On behalf of Swanage Town Council I send my condolences to the families, friends and carers of those who passed away at Gainsborough Care Home earlier today. Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this incident at this difficult time’.
Cllr Foster continued ‘I would like to pay particular tribute to our amazing emergency services who have responded so efficiently to today’s events’.
The circumstances around this incident are still emerging and therefore the Town Council will not be commenting further at the current time.
