Hello Vik
I am getting incensed responses to Imogen Parry's response to SHUK on BBC Breakfast who intimated
that there were numbers in Sheltered Housing who did not want a Warden. SHUK response on the spot was ' well what are they doing in Sheltered Housing then ?'
Of course there will always be one or two who have become misplaced but they should really get them selves on a waiting list for a more suitable property to move into. As it stands there are many people in Sheltered Housing who do require a Warden and rely upon the Warden. To remove the Wardens because a couple of people object to paying for the service would be a crime against the vulnerable
