A NEW training centre for care staff has opened in Swin-don.
The centre next to the Lease Hill residential care home in Moredon was opened by Jerry Oliver, acting director of social services at Swindon Borough Council.
The centre will be mainly used to train the council's care staff in moving and handling people, for example how to lift people without causing themselves back problems.
The building was previously used by staff running Lease Hill.
It has been named Parke House after Allan Parke, who retired as a health and safety officer at the council last year.
