The Conservatives are closing six care homes across Hampshire while spending £40 million on new offices for themselves

Six care homes have now closed, including Aldershot's Chrismas Lodge and Courtbourn in Farnborough.

"Which would you rather have - Care Homes across the county or Tory Towers in Winchester?"
