I AM writing to 'Your Views' to find out if there are any other elderly, disabled people who have no family or any other people to help them and who are in the same situation as I find myself -- yes, the severe lack of care given to this group by Social Services.

If you have no family or anyone else to help you, you are told that there is no care as this Government won't give them any money.

Yet other sections have all the care they need, which I take to mean is that they don't care -- they want to keep you away from the rest of society. No one can see the disgusting state some of our vulnerable people live in. Out of sight, out of mind.

Is this what Bolton's people pay most of their hard-earned wages for? I don't think it is what they expect. I'd like to appeal to the people. Is this what care you expect for the vulnerable in Bolton in the year 2000?

If there are any more people like me that this is happening to, please write to Your Views.
