Shrewsbury has a disproportionate number of senior citizens compared to the national average. Shropshire Council face intolerable financial pressure when it comes to funding care for older people and I believe that our government should use its majority to find a fair solution to the problem.
I am pleased at this week's announcement that Shropshire Council’s Cabinet has approved an eight-week consultation on a draft strategy to help prevent and reduce homelessness in the county.
