Court Saves Vital Disability Hub | London News

A disabled man’s landmark court victory saves a vital community center from closure—after a 14-year lifeline for people with learning disabilities, the Poverest Adult Education Centre was targeted for demolition to make way for housing. The Court of Appeal ruled the council’s decision was irrational, citing a failure to consult the center’s 99 regular users and their carers. For Jerome, the center isn’t just educational—it’s his lifeline against isolation. His family hailed the ruling as a historic win for disability rights, reinforcing that disabled voices must be heard when services they rely on are threatened. Now, Bromley Council must restart consultations before any closure can proceed. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
