Council's day centre closure programme criticised by campaigners

A PLAN by Glasgow City Council to close three out of its seven remaining day centres for people with learning disabilities has been criticised as "wrong-headed" by campaigners.

And the public sector union Unison warned the proposal risked dragging services back to levels not seen since the 1960s.

Details of the council's plan to consult on the closures were revealed in a report by executive director of social care services David Crawford.
