AN MP is seeking reassurances that a closed centre will not be allowed to fall into disrepair.

Lancashire County Council is refurbishing Enfield Day centre in Church and aims to concentrate services on that site closing Hyndburn Resource Centre and the service it provides at Scaitcliffe Community Centre, Accrington.

Hyndburn MP Graham Jones first raised concerns over the centre last year and is now writting to LCC chiefs to request more information. He said: “I am concerned that the closure should not become a boarded up eyesore like Peel House.

“The county promise the centre ‘will be considered for alternative community use’. I will be writing to County Hall to find out their plans and what progress they expect to make in re-using this building.”
