Richmond House in Farsley was shut by Leeds City Council at the end of 2021 to save cash.

The 20-bed facility offered a short stay service to elderly people coming out of hospital but still in need of assistance.

Now, the local authority has outlined plans to mothball the empty building in November this year.
