Campaigners fight to save Portman Children's Centre - Kid's centre faces £100,000 cut to operating budget

CAMPAIGNERS fighting to save a children’s day centre protested at Council House in Marylebone on Wednesday night.

As a council meeting got underway inside, 30 parents and children who attend the Portman Children’s Centre in Marylebone demonstrated on the steps outside. 

City Hall is proposing to cut £100,000 from the centre’s budget. 

A petition launched by Westminster Labour councillors warned the cut would “do serious damage to vulnerable children and their families”.
