Sadness and anger as Wirral Council announces day centre closure

There have been tears today at the planned closure of a much loved day care centre.

Moreton Day Care in Wirral provides support and respite care for disabled adults.

But it's earmarked for closure as the council looks to save more than 100 million pounds over the next three years.

Decision day for Wirral day-centre closure
