Croydon Council U-turnd on plans to close two childrenâs centres Pressure from school kids has forced Croydon Council to U-turn on plans to close two children’s centres. In a bid to save cash, the council wanted to shut Shirley Children’s Centre and stop services from Purley Oaks Children’s Centre. Over 1,365 responses with 725 people saying they disagreed with the changes, were submitted to a consultation that closed in June. Some 90 school children from Purley Oaks Primary School and 400 former school users objected. While the centres will now remain open, cuts to the tune of £1 million will go ahead – meaning there may be fewer sessions and possible job cuts.
