My mother in law spent many happy hours here and she looked forward to it from one visit to the next. A life line to many elderly folk.

the proposal to close these centres is not only a blow to all those who currently use and value them, but to all those will will do so in the future. It is not only heartless and mean; it shows a wilful ignorance of the longer term cost-effectiveness of such centres for older people. As an older person (pensioner) myself I also wish to emphasise that this proposal is likely to be a vote loser and counsel an immediate U-turn!

I commend the party for fighting to save this service, which is undoubtedly a lifeline for many elderly people. I sincerely hope that the Council will re-evaluate their position on this matter.

Day centres are the one place where an elderly person may go to keep warm in the winter months, they probably cant afford to do it at home; plus they get the benefit of companionship, and a cooked meal

What in the world are you thinking of, closing down Day Centres which are used by many elderly people. It's about time the older people of this country got a bit of respect. We fall far behind our european friends in this .
If they don't want it closed don't close it.What I'd like to know is who comes up with these ludicrous ideas!

I think that there should be more not less day centres to help the elderly to combat loneliness. I think that some day centres should give free computer lessons to the elderly explaining antivirus and firewalls and how to keep safe on the internet as everything nowadays tell you to go to this or that web site.

This form of socialising is so important for the elderly, isolation is a great cause of depression and conequently onset of dementia. Day centres are needed more and more as the population of elderly people increases.

It is imperative that Day Centres are kept open to stop the elderly from becoming isolated. Many elderly rely on places like these for a nourishing main meal as well, and without them they are very vunerable as many are unable to cook for themselves.

The money these closures will save the council is minimal, the loss of this service to older people in our community will be great, removing a resource that supports their independence and enhances their quality of life.

I feel strongly that this is an invaluable provision,giving some elderly people the only company they have all week. We will all be old one day and I`m sure we would like these facilities to be there for us then.
I realise some updating may be necessary for health and safety, but the age of the buildings also gives them the character which suits this generation.

I really know how very important these rooms are for the elderly , as my own Mother attended here a few years back , and it helped her gain a good friend , it must be so good getting the people out of the often solitary confinement of their own houses. Please Dont Close The Centre.

I sincerely hope this campaign will NOT BE the same as when many of us protested about the closing of the The Lazar House Library. There was NO political will to keep it open as it was a DONE DEAL! Silver Rooms/Essex St closure is a cowardly action against those least able to help themselves. And UNFIT for PURPOSE? Stop hiding behind political slogans - have you heard any complaints about the buildings/kitchens/service by the USERS? No, of course not. I am furious, and I am not even a client!
