Crawley MP, Henry Smith, has today expressed his concern following mixed reports over the future of local Family & Children Centre ‘bumps and babies’ support groups.
Commenting, Henry said:
“I’ve been very concerned over the last few days to get messages from several young mums across town who have expressed worries about the possible withdrawal of the bumps and babies group, which is provided at family and children’s centres.
“I know from when I was expecting my own children and when they were very young that the support provided by this group was very helpful.
“I’m urgently calling on West Sussex County Council to clarify its position on this important service and asking on them to reconsider any plans that they might have to close it.”
