Theresa calls on council to look again at crèche closure

  • 16 Dec 2009

Theresa May has responded to reports that the crèche at the Magnet Leisure Centre is to be closed by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. A group of local mothers and fathers supporting the continuation of the crèche has collected nearly 700 signatures on a petition calling the Royal Borough to reconsider their decision which Theresa is presenting to the Council.

Theresa said, “It is clear that many local mums value this service and at a time when we want to encourage people to get fit I would be sorry to see the crèche close.”

“I know that the Council has to look carefully at its finances but I am pressing them to look again at this proposal. I’m particularly concerned they ensure that they are looking at all the options for keeping this open.”
