A new children’s centre could be opened to help families get access to childcare and health advice.
Brighton and Hove City Council is planning to spend £100,000 converting a classroom at Fairlight Primary School into the new centre.
It wants to help people living in the Lewes Road area of the city to get to a nearby centre so they can get information about health and family life.
The proposals involve turning one classroom at the school in St Leonard's Road, Brighton, into the centre, which would be given its own entrance at the site.
It would be linked to the City View children’s centre at Brighton General Hospital in Elm Grove.
A report which will be considered at the council’s Children and Young People Cabinet Member Meeting today recommends that funding for the new centre should be found by halving the current £200,000 funding for Shenfield Way children’s centre in Hollingdean.
