EASTERN European families staged a snap protest at a children’s centre in Bradford today against a council plan to axe services that puts hundreds of jobs at risk.

Under-threat St Edmund’s Nursery School at Girlington in Bradford serves an area which includes a community of families from eastern Europe.

Parents whose kids use the centre were given a briefing on Wednesday by children’s services managers about Bradford Council’s £13.6 million-a-year cuts plans, which involve closing some of the city’s children’s centres.
