CAMPAIGNERS gathered in protest to council cuts which could spell the end for a respite centre in Southampton.

Protestors met in Shirley Precinct to stand against Southampton City Council which has earmarked Kentish Road respite centre for closure.

The move has come as the council looks to save £300,000 a year.

But after SCC received a grant of £9.7 million to spend on adult social care over the next three years until 2020, politicians say action needs to be taken.
