The results will be used to prepare proposals which will be consulted between June and September.

City Councilor Burford said the plans were absolutely not about budget cuts or a method of closing day care centers.

He said the goal is to ensure that people who use the service have the most opportunities in their lives.

"We didn't even think of closing centers," said City Councilor Burford.

He added: "This is progressive thinking. We are not the only authority that looks at it that way, but the thinking is that nowadays you don't just have to sit back and provide services to people year after year.

"The danger is that the service will be blocked."

Dillon said they would involve defense services to make sure that people can respond as best they can.
