Groups that use council-run community centres across Leicester have voiced their fears as a consultation into their future is under way.

Leicester City Council, which currently operates 13 community centres and 16 libraries across the city, is asking for the public's views on a new "service model" operating from 12 multi-service centres and the Central Library.

It comes as the authority is looking to reduce their budget by up to 拢2.1m over the next three years following "a decade and a half of central government cuts in funding".

But the suggestion the centres could be transferred to community organisations to run has sparked concern among users.

Assistant Mayor responsible for Community Centres, Councillor Vi Dempster told us that no decisions have been taken yet, and Kanti Majithia who runs a social group every weekday afternoon at the Rushey Mead Recreation Centre spoke to 蜜芽传媒 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
