Dear Editor,
I am now receiving daily complaints from worried vulnerable senior citizens some with dementia others who are housebound regarding the 100% weekly increase inflicted on them by the SNP Council for the life saving Alert Alarm System. Along with the general cost of living, this doubling of the cost for this critical service wipes out any benefit from the miserly increase in their State Pension. It is often said we can be judged on how we treat our most vulnerable senior citizens. This massive increase, along with many other punitive increases for care services in West Dunbartonshire, certainly confirms my view that the local SNP group are behaving like “Tartan Tories”.
