Family hubs are facilities that offer a range of support, information and guidance to parents, carers and young people as part of the Early Help service. There are 12 Hubs located around the County, with at least one in each district and borough area.
It is proposed to undertake a range of refurbishment and remodelling works to 10 of the Hubs to enable the delivery of additional facilities, improve outdoor play provision and configure the buildings to better suit the needs of users.
A Feasibility Study is currently being undertaken to specify the required works and associated costs of the programme of works.
Following conclusion of the study the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Learning and Skills will be asked to approve the allocation of the required funds to enable the refurbishment works to progress.
