'HOLSWORTHY Day Centre is not closing!'

That was the message from the manager Anne Jose following last Thursday's Devon County Council vote to cut £28-million from its budget for 2014-2015 — it would mean the axing of all but nine of the council's day centres as well as residential care homes and youth services, writes Christine Williams.

Mrs Jose said: "Recently, I have been contacted by people asking if we are still open, so we are spreading the word to those who might benefit from attending that we are still here and open for business."
