North East Lincolnshire Council has put out plans for consultation to change the structure of its children’s centres as part of a number of cost-saving measures.
The council is proposing to merge its ten children’s centres into five cluster areas. Each cluster will have one designated children’s centre.
Under the plans, the following five children’s centres would be de-designated and turned into outreach venues - Central, Queensway, Scartho, Broadway and Highgate.
Other measures being considered by the council include extending the reach of its centres to children from birth to 14, opening centres for longer and offering a broader range of services.
