A new petition has appeared on the Councils web site click http://tinyurl.com/Stop-social-care-cuts

The petition is obviously aimed at removing the threat to the care services provided for 184 elderly residents who are judged to have “moderate” care needs.

While the present Labour run Council has established an unenviable reputation for ignoring residents wishes, however expressed, we think that this petition may be worth supporting.

The Liberal Democrats have pointed to other economies which could be made to ensure that care services are continued.

The 184 residents whose services are under threat have not even been told officially when their support packages will end. This makes it very difficult for them to arrange for an alternative service provider.

A shameless insult to some of our most vulnerable senior residents!
