"We are also working closely with Turning Point as part of Horizons, the new community drug and alcohol services provider in Bristol from April 1, to continue supporting a safe transfer of those services."Steve Rice, founder of the Save the Acer campaign, struggled with heroine addiction for 20 years, and has now been in recovery for 34 years.

He was sceptical about the efficacy of community-based treatments, adding that in his experience they were rarely successful for long-term addicts.He told the BBC he feared for people aged in their 50s and 60s, often facing multiple health conditions, who will not be able to pay for private treatment."If you've got money you can get a detox but the people who go to the Acer, they are the little coins at the funfair machine that pushes coins backwards and forwards," he said.

"They are the people right at the edge. Their next stop is to fall off. These are the people that get treated in NHS detoxes."A spokesperson for Bristol City Council said: "We are grateful to AWP for the provision of this service to date and thank staff at the Acer Unit for their passion and commitment.

"Bristol's new Horizons Drug and Alcohol service are working closely with the Acer Unit to ensure safe closure of the service."

Justin Hoggans, regional head of operations for the Horizons programme, said they were sad to hear of the decision to close the Acer Ward but wanted to "offer reassurance that inpatient detox will still be available to those who need it".WSFRS have since scaled down their presence, with three fire engines currently in attendance.

"Crews worked hard to bring the fire in a scrap yard under control using jets and foam," said a WSFRS spokesperson.Police are appealing for information after a pair of nesting swans were "unlawfully killed" in Shropshire.
