The Director of Children’s Services outlined proposals to extend the existing West Kirby Children’s Centre and build a new multi-function room as a single storey gable end extension, adjacent to the existing multi-function room. The scheme would remodel the existing multi-function room to provide a smaller multi-function room, new health room & office accommodation to meet the needs of Extended Services at the Children’s Centre.  The report set out the estimated costs of the scheme and Cabinet was asked to consider and approve the proposal.
