NewsA sorry saga of day care
Oct 31 2003THE saga of the Liberal Democrats' botched project to close Kennington Park Daycare Centre continues. The centre has now closed and users have been sent off for day care at a variety of other places around Lambeth, often further away from their friends and families.
But it has now been revealed that closing the centre is going to make £115,000 less "savings" than intended, money that will now have to be made up elsewhere.
So, not only have the Lib Dems shut down the whole place, but to make up the difference, they will have to axe either six nursing care places, nine residential care places or 12 home care places that are currently allocated to other users in Lambeth.
This is the reality of Liberal Democrat-run Lambeth.
