Relocating the Register office
The Council is relocating the Register office to a new purpose built facility in Redcar, as part of the community area within the new Redcar Leisure & Community Heart scheme. This is part of an overall strategy to reduce the operating costs of existing Council buildings while creating facilities that will serve the community for many years to come. This new development means that the existing Guisborough Register Office will close once the new facility in Redcar is opened. This is expected to be completed by summer 2013.
Proposed Changes to Adult Transport Services
The Council currently provide a free transport service for adults with a learning disability and older people who use the councils day services and in-house Respite Care provision. The current annual cost of our adult day service transport is almost £500,000 with around 200 adults currently travelling free to day centres.
Proposed Changes to Fairer Charging Policy
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is asking for your views on proposals to make changes to how much we charge for care services for older people and people with a disability. The proposed changes may affect people who are currently assessed for a charge for services including care at home, personal care or day care.
