QUESTION BY MRS LESLEY WILLIAMS TO COUNCILLOR JANE TREMLETT, EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER FOR SOCIAL CARE AND HEALTH
“The criteria for attendance at Carmarthen John Street Day Centre have altered during the past few years; access has become much more restricted and many people who previously used the Centre are now excluded. Why? What alternatives have been provided for older people in the town? Do you agree that in view of the fact that Carmarthen has a higher than average population over retirement age it is vitally important that facilities are available so that the many older people who live alone have somewhere provided by the council to meet regularly, at reasonable cost, in order to ameliorate possible feelings of loneliness and isolation?
