August is a good time to release bad news - either people aren't paying attention or with rioting and financial melt down no one is paying any attention. Anyway Central Bedfordshire Council has announced plans to charge for vital Telecare services, £4 a week or over £200 a year. Telecare installs state of the art devices which can detect falls, movement or drops in the temperature and are more effective than the standard alarm pendant.
The council says it wants to ask people their opinion about this. I wonder what people will say? A 12-week consultation period finishes on Friday 4th November 2011. You can take part in the consultation by filling in the form online or down loading it from www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/consultations
