A Portland carer is calling for ‘long-term security’ to come from a three-month consultation on the future of day services in Dorset.

Day centres could close in a move by Dorset County Council to save £600,000.

Three options for the service have been put forward:

• Reduce available services, either by closing or merging some day centres or reducing hours or service options.
