Opposition councillors have blocked a decision by the city council to close the centre.
By Tom Oakley and Hannah RichardsonA move to shut down a day centre in Leicester for people with learning disabilities has been halted after councillors raised concerns over the impact on families.
The centre has not been best placed to offer the full support needed by the people who use it, the Labour-run council has said. "The council has failed to explain that for the last six or seven years [it] has not been referring individuals to the [service]."It said it could save £300,000 a year by closing it and accessing support for service users through independent providers.
