Wirral Council is proposing cuts of over £100million. This includes closing a number of Day Centre’s for people with Learning &/or Physical Disabilities. They also propose to reduce the options for Council residential care (Sylvandale & Girtrell Court) for people with Learning Disabilities. All remaining Day Services face privatisation, via transfer to social enterprise. By reducing staff terms and conditions they undermine a skilled, stable and dedicated group of staff. The Day Centre’s under threat are: Cambridge Road, Eastham, Heswall, Highcroft, Moreton and Pensby Wood. These centres offer a vital service and the changes will have a significant and detrimental impact upon people who use these services and their carers. We call upon the Council to:  Keep all Day Centres open  For a fully resourced day service  No reduction in residential services  No privatisation of Day Services  No reduction in staff terms & conditions Please help us by signing the petition

The stories shared about Cambridge Road and the other centers are heartbreaking. We are compiling these experiences to present directly to the council.

The council need to find the money elsewhere. These centres are essential for people who have no other way to socialise or get care. SHAMEFUL.

Keep them open!! My auntie relies on the staff at moreton so much. You cant just cut corners with vulnerable people like this.

Disgusted by these proposals. Wirral council needs to stop looking at disabled people as easy targets to balance their books.

Privatisation is a disaster waiting to happen. The staff work so hard and they deserve better than this.
