    Question from: County Councillor Graham Breeze Subject: Welshpool Day Care Centre

     

    Question From:

    County Councillor Graham Breeze

    Subject:

    Welshpool Day Care Centre

    Question To:

    County Councillor Sian Cox

    Cabinet Member for a Caring Powys

     

    Question:

     

    The Cabinet Member will be aware that the Day Care facility in Welshpool was handed over to Welshpool Town Council as an asset transfer on the understanding that day care facilities would continue.

     

    The Town Council took on the centre to ensure the service continued when Powys County Council was reviewing the service and discussing closures.

    The day care centre has now been closed at the Ann Holloway Centre for two years with no alternative offered by the Town Council.  The Town Council blames running costs.

     

    Would the Cabinet Member for a Caring Powys give my residents an assurance that:

    1.         Welshpool will be part of the review promised for currently closed day care centres in Powys.

    2.         All avenues will be explored by Powys County Council to ensure this facility is re-opened for the people of Welshpool.
