Edie has got to go. Completely out of touch with what the community actually needs.
This is ridiculous. People rely on these services and they deserve to pick who looks after them. Dont mess with peoples lives just to save a few quid.
The council need to listen to the people for once instead of just pushing through these awful plans.
TOTAL DISGRACE. These people dont have a clue how support works in the real world.
We need choice not some blanket policy that helps no one.

My mum needs her usual carer. She has built up trust over years and this change would be devastating. Leave it alone!
