Due to austerity cuts thanks to central government, East Sussex County Council have planned to stop day services being provided at the Isabel Blackman Centre, that is, 'social care facilities for adults over 50 suffering from... dementia; stroke; learning disabilities and other long-term conditions.'
This has been going on for a while now, but consultation time is quickly shortening. There are petitions around town, and online (for example at the ESCC website), which need to be completed soon should you wish to support these continued facilities for vulnerable people in Hastings; the ESCC online petition runs until the 12th of October.
Once it's gone that will be it sadly...
