A public consultation on the future of Houghton Regis Older People Day Centre has been launched by Central Beds Council.
The council, which owns and operates seven day centres, four of which are for older people, is proposing to relocate the Houghton Regis Day Centre for Older People to All Saints View independent living scheme in Sapphire Place, Houghton Regis. The move would mean closing the Houghton Regis Day Centre in Parkside.
