Reading's Children's Services could face most radical reduction ever
Reading Borough Council will decide whether to restructure children's centre services.
Jan Gavin, Children's Services Lead:
"We as I'm sure you're away...we have to find enormous savings within the council budget, from a budget of 拢1.2 million, we should reduce that by a third.
"We've already saved 拢65 million, and we have to save another 拢40 million by 2020.
"You will see that there are cuts coming through, from every part of the service - right across the council, and it was agreed that our children centre provision should concentrate on those areas of highest need."
