Council modifies proposals for care changes

PROTESTERS attempting to prevent the closure of three daycare centres for people with learning disabilities have been offered an olive branch by Glasgow City Council.

The city's ruling Labour group and council social work chiefs have faced strong opposition to the proposals, which will leave just four day-care facilities remaining.

They have now agreed to put forward new plans, which stop short of a U-turn but include significant concessions to work with the people affected to develop alternative ways of offering them support.
