Almost 50 jobs are at risk as plans to close a care home have been approved.
Gloucestershire County Council leaders agreed on Wednesday to shut Gloucester's Great Western Court as it has become too expensive to run and under-utilised.
The council-owned care home has been vacant since March but still retains 47 staff. Some of the team are now at risk of redundancy.
Councillor Kate Usmar, the council's adults' support cabinet member, said that only nine of the 30 beds have been occupied in recent years, and the building is no longer fit for purpose.
