The Centre in Northumberland Road caters for day- care for the
elderly (including those with dementia), respite care as well as
other services.
We believe that the closure of this facility would be detrimental
to the wellbeing of those using the centre and their
families.

Response from Mr Graham Gibbens - Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health
"A Recommendation Report that will consider this petition
alongside all of the responses to the public consultation since 28
September 2015 will be discussed at the meeting of the Adult Social
Care and Public Health Cabinet Committee on 14 January 2016. I will
then take my decision shortly after this meeting which is expected
to be in week commencing 18 January 2016. I would like to assure
you that I will only consider taking the decision to close the
centre if sufficient evidence has been provided that alternative
provision is available. Ultimately, no closure would take place
without the alternative provision in place and
operational."
