Dorset Council is deeply saddened to listen to of the deaths on the Gainsborough care house in Swanage.

We’re working with the house’s house owners Agincare, emergency companies and different associate businesses to help the residents of the care house who’ve been evacuated.

Lots of the residents are weak folks with vital care wants, and so we’re working with them to know meet their wants within the brief time period and determine their subsequent steps.

Right now there’s nothing to point any danger to the broader public. We perceive this incident could have a big impression on the Swanage group and our ideas are very a lot with the households of those that have sadly died at this extraordinarily troublesome time.
