Save the George Bryan Centre from permanent closure
We want MPFT to strongly think about the decision to close the George Bryan Centre.
The main points of this petition are to ask MPFT to:
1. Ensure that any closure for repairs to the site is temporary.
2. Ensure that the unit is fully repaired to enable the same number of patients (as before the fire) to receive inpatient care.
3. To rethink the earlier decision to close the s.136 Mental Health Act suite. This closure means that persons requiring immediate assessment are having to travel further - whilst at their most vulnerable point.

Why is this important?
The George Bryan Centre offers inpatient support for patients suffering from mental ill-health.
Closing the facility will mean that Tamworth Residents requiring in-patient Mental Health support will need to attend St Georges in Stafford or further afield.
It also means that people from Tamworth visiting friends or relatives will face a 60-mile round trip.
