The council's consultation regarding the closures of Fernbank and Sebright children's centres was deemed unlawful, leading to a dropped High Court challenge after campaigners highlighted misleading information.
Campaigner Natalie Aguilera expressed that closing these children's centres is a political choice that adversely affects the youngest community members, who are unable to voice their needs.
Tim Cowbury emphasized the significant reliance families have on these services and expressed hope that the council recognizes the major impact on local families represented in their proposals.
A council spokesperson acknowledged the necessity for changes in subsidized childcare to ensure sustainable early years provisions amidst rising costs and financial pressures on local authorities.
