You report that Bridport Town Council question whether Dorset County Council is being entirely straight about day care centre option 1: that keeping the service in LA hands will lead to the closure of some centres.

At the meeting in Swanage, I noted that their presentation gave only a list of highly negative cons for option1 and option 2: creating an 'arm's length' trading company still under LA direction.

Privatisation option 3 however had a long list of upbeat pros however, with just a few cons tacked on.

That reeked of predetermination to those of us present.
