Fairway Day Centre - joint statement

We are extremely concerned about the proposal to close the Fairway Day Centre.

Combined with the planned closure of Harborne Day Centre, there won’t be an alternative centre within four miles.

Some residents have spent decades in the care of Fairway and their families are understandably concerned that suitable alternatives won’t be found.

We have listened to the families of residents who feel that the service has not been adequately advertised in recent years, and that their voices have not been heard during the consultation process.

We urge that the long-term costs are taken into account so that residents get the care they need, and ratepayers don’t end up paying more for less.
