Opposition parties on the York Council have called in for reconsideration a plan to close the Castlegate youth advice and help centre.
The meeting will take place on 31st October and the reports can be read by clicking here
The Castlegate centre provides information, support and counselling for young people aged between 16-25 in York,
Probably the main issue concerns the proposal to transfer some youth advice services to West Offices.
It is difficult to think of a less suitable location.
The building can be intimidating, reception arrangements busy (see article above) and occasionally chaotic – despite the best endeavours of staff.
It is also noisy because of the atrium design.
The Council may wish to move the service to a more affordable location but West Offices would be a poor choice.
