    The Walk in Centre is a valuable resource for the Prestwich Community. The area is made up of young families and working people who rely on the out of hours service of this centre. To close it would be a disaster and an additional burden on local GP’s and A&E Departments who are already under pressure.

    Do they want to close the walk in centres so the top councillors can give themselves a good pay rise.
