PARENTS and babies could be on the move.

Councillors will decide next week whether to relocate Birkby Children’s Centre from Birkbees Day Care Centre on Old Halifax Road to the Birkby/Fartown Community Centre on Wasp Nest Road.

A report to councillors claims the current centre suffers from “limited access to shared outdoor space” and becomes “very crowded” because it has no reception area.

The council spent £100,000 setting up the children’s centre in 2006 and pays Birkbees £2,000 a month in rent.

Officials want to spend £45,000 upgrading the community centre instead.

The council’s Labour Cabinet will rule on the plan at a meeting at Huddersfield Town Hall from 4pm on Tuesday.
