Broadway North Resource Centre helps to provide day services for adults with mental health problems.

Councillor Diane Coughlan, cabinet member for social care, said she had been approached by distraught services users who had been wrongly told the unit would be sold and a medical centre built on the site.

"No final decision on Broadway North has been made and no deal has been done with any GPs," she said. "Before any decision can be taken a full and meaningful consultation has to take place."
