Glasgow City Council's new proposal on day centres is no olive branch
AS a member of one of the 520 families who will be affected by the closure of the three learning disability day centres I am confused as to how your correspondent Stephen Naysmith can describe the Glasgow City Council proposal confirming that three day centres will be closed, leaving just four day-care facilities for the whole of the city, as an olive branch to protesters ("Council modifies proposals for care changes", The Herald February 22).

Custom byline text:
In the article Councillor Susan Aitken, SNP social care spokeswoman, is wrong to say that these rehashed proposals are close to what "protesters" have asked for from the start. The main focus of discontent was and remains the loss of the three day centres which will affect people using all of the existing seven Glasgow day centres. All the council has done is to confirm that its cuts will indeed take place.
