Show Notes
One year after Birmingham City Council closed the Harborne Day Centre, a key support hub for vulnerable individuals, the community is still grappling with the aftermath. The closure, part of a series of cuts due to financial struggles, has left significant gaps in adult day care services, particularly in south Birmingham. Campaigner James Cross, whose family member used the center, has witnessed the impact firsthand. The closures sparked protests and open letters, fueling Crosss decision to run for office as an independent. With all council seats up for grabs in May, the election promises a tight race between Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems, Greens, and others, potentially leading to a shift in local leadership.
