Questions and Answers

 

Resident Patrick Beynon asked if fire safety checks for the elderly were being done on their own or do they get refereed from other people as most elderly people don’t have modern technology to refer themselves.

 

Billy McGill said that there are leaflets informing people how to be referred for checks, they can also drop in to their local fire station to find out more. We deliver to who is in need first. He also confirmed that they are due to get involved in slips trips and fall in the near future.

 

Resident Cath asked if there had been an increase in malicious calls.
