The centre has provided activities and gatherings to which they look forward to attending and being with the community. Many of them undertake voluntary work and having suffered budget cuts already, they will now be facing more problems if they are displaced. The traffic around this area is already gridlocked at school pick up and drop off times, this needs attention urgently.

My daughter, a volunteer for one of the projects at the Centre, told me she only heard about what was going to happen a week ago.

She works people with learning disabilities who cannot speak for themselves and most of whom have no idea that they will lose their Centre.

It is shocking that the Council has not had to decency to consult with Centre users.

It's devastating that this proposal has got so far with no user consultation. Amongst the users are many people with disabilities whose independence and ability to access services will be severely threatened by the closure. Even an alternative venue will compromise ongoing work, as many depend upon familiar, safe environments and routines in order to participate fully. Learning new journey, for example, can be time consuming and difficult.
