Adult Social Care is proposing to close the Steps to Work service, including the Shine Car Wash in Lewes, and support people to access alternative services in the community. The service supports people with a learning disability to prepare for, access, and retain employment. The proposal is one of a number that the department has been consulting on to help close the Council’s funding gap. The results of the consultation will be shared and Cabinet will make a decision on whether the proposals go ahead or not.
