The future of 38 children's centres in Norfolk is due to be discussed today.
Norfolk County Council's children's services committee will debate the fate of the centres across the county, which have been earmarked for closure as part of plans to halve its children's services budget.
More than 1,600 people responded to the council's consultation over the proposals, which were branded 'reckless' and 'short-sighted' by some.
A revised plan, revealed last week, shows the council is now proposing to keep 15 centres open as local bases – two in each district and three in Norwich.
It is also confident that the 38 children's centres set to close will continue to be used for childcare and family services and activities.
Under the new plans three centres which were set to stay open, in Attleborough, Holt and Terrington St Clement, are now proposed not be retained – although the council says Attleborough will operate as a 'multi-function hub'.
Some councillors are still not convinced by the proposals, with one labelling the proposals 'a stitch-up'.
Mike Smith-Clare, Labour spokesman for children's services, said: 'People have detailed the impact this is going to have on their lives and they still have not listened. We will continue to fight this.'
Meanwhile Ed Maxfield, Liberal Democrat councillor, has claimed that the council may have to pay back £16m in government grants if it pushes ahead with the closures – but the council has refuted this suggestion, saying it has reviewed all 'potential liabilities'.
Stuart Dark, chairman of the council's children's services committee, said: 'We have listened and have updated our proposals.
'I believe we can provide effective, targeted support to children and families, through outreach support in people's homes and venues across the county, plus 15 early childhood and family bases in the areas of highest need.'
