NEW mums may soon be able to pop down the road to register the birth of their child thanks to the launch of an innovative service.
City of York Council said it is one of the first local authorities in the country to open birth register offices in the community.
The council said parents can now register their babies at three Sure Start Children’s Centres in Hob Moor on Wednesdays, Tang Hall on Thursdays and New Earswick on Mondays.
A fourth centre is set to open in the Knavesmire area this spring.
Rob Livesey, City of York Council’s Registration Services manager, said: “The service is very well used – especially the Hob Moor Children’s Centre.”
Appointments can be made by phoning the Bootham Register Office on 01904 654477.
