Trafford Council announces children's centre consultation meeting
3:00pm Friday 23rd November 2012 in News By Kate Banks, Reporter
TRAFFORD Council has affirmed its desire for as many people as possible to take part in the children’s centre proposals consultation.
Trafford’s corporate director of children and young people’s service, Deborah Brownlee, said due to requests from parents, a further meeting hosted by executive councillor Linda Blackburn is to be held in the next couple of weeks, in addition to the already confirmed meetings.
A parent representative from each of the children’s centre parent forums will be present at this meeting.
Ms Brownlee said: “The council is committed to providing the best possible, sustainable, effective support to children and families.
“The comments and views of parents and other interested parties are all important and will be carefully considered and discussed before the council makes a final decision.”
Any parent who would like to offer to be their parent forum representative should contact their local children’s centre.
Anyone wishing to comment on the children's centre consultation should go to trafford.gov.uk/budget2013/serviceproposals.asp.

I don't know this parent at all and am really worried that they wont tell the counsellor why surestart is so important to me. It I completely sorted me out when I was at my wits end.
If the council read this please have an open meeting so that we all get heard. I don't believe that anyone is really going to read the form I gave in.
If they are willing to meet 16 people why not more? I think it is because they want to make it look like they are listening to people but really they make people go on their own they will be a bit to intimidated to speak.

Why won't you talk to your public Trafford MBC.
This is not democracy, it's a farce.
