Members of Bolsover’s Labour group will gather in Market Place, Shirebrook, on Friday, May 13, at 10am, in protest over the threat to the Derbyshire County Council-run facilities, which the authority argues are under-utilised.
Among the centres under threat are Carter Lane Day Centre in Shirebrook and Whitwell Day Centres, which if closed will leave Bolsover district with no more council-run adult day centre provision.
