Work On Learning Disability Centre Complete

Refurbishment work on a learning disability centre in West Dunbarton is now complete.

The £700,000 upgrade of the Dumbarton Day Centre, on Bruce Street, included providing two sensory rooms, improved physiotherapy facilities, an expanded café area and the creation of several quiet rooms.

Councillor Gail Casey, Convener of the Community Health and Care Partnership committee, visited the centre to see the improvements.

She said: "This Council has a clear commitment to improve care and protect the welfare of vulnerable people. That is why it is so wonderful to see the changes that have been made at the Dumbarton Day Centre. As the main day resource centre for adults with learning disabilities in West Dunbartonshire it was important that it was brought up to date to meet the needs of its users. These upgrades will ensure that people in West Dunbartonshire have access to some of the best facilities anywhere."

Other improvements at the centre have seen a fully equipped kitchen installed to allow service users to plan and make their own meals, and the creation of an exhibition area.
