Just bumped into an old friend in Sainsbury's who I have not seen for several months.
She was employed at Leighton Dene in Fazakerley, but has now been redeployed, along with the rest of the staff.
For those who don't know, this was a day centre in Fazakerley which fully met the needs of it's users. The Liberal Democrats, in their wisdom, decided to close this facility at the last round of budget cuts in April.
My friend tells me the users are getting nowhere near the level of provision that they had at Leighton Dene, and amongst all the staff that have been redeployed, stress levels are high and morale is at an all time low.
The fib dems should hang their heads in shame for making this particular cut to a much needed service.
