Monmouthshire Meals on Wheels Service

Whether you call it an 'efficiency saving' or a 'cut' Monmouthshire County Council's (MCC) plan to increase the costs of meals (by 20p) and to reduce staff numbers will hit the county's most vulnerable residents the hardest as the Meals on Wheels service faces cuts of up to £45,000. Either way it is unacceptable as for many older residents in Monmouthsire the meals on wheels service is a real lifeline. Sadly such behaviour is pretty typical for MCC which over recent years has been busy robbing Peter to pay Paul merely to try to balance the books. MCC needs to think long and hard about these proposed cuts.
