Purpose:

Update

Decision:

Proposed by Councillor Sheila Clarke

Seconded by Councillor Karen Hayes

 

(1)  Council notes that, as a consequence of this reconfiguration of the Youth Service, seven as yet unnamed Youth Centres across the Wirral will be closed, and this Council rejects the loss of amenities for our young people, especially at a time when this Labour / Liberal Democrat Administration is closing down leisure centres, libraries and the highly rated Pacific Road complex.

 

(2)  Council should instruct the Labour/ Liberal Democrat Cabinet to come clean with both our young people and our staff and name the Youth Centres which are to be closed

 

(3)  Council therefore does not accept the Budget saving of £150,000

 

Having applied the guillotine, the Council did not debate this matter and it was –

 

Resolved (24:39:2) – That the objection be not approved.

 

NB.  The following Councillors requested that their vote in favour of the motion be recorded:

 

Councillors T Anderson, C Blakeley, SL Clarke, WA Duffey, DM Elderton, GJ Ellis, Mrs L Fraser, JE Green, J Hale, Karen Hayes, Paul Hayes, AC Hodson, PSC Johnson, J Keeley, I Lewis, SD Moseley, SR Mountney, C Povall, A Pritchard, Mrs LA Rennie, SL Rowlands, Sue Taylor, GCJ Watt, and Mrs K Wood.
