SIR Arthur and Kathleen Grimshaw are refusing to pay a penny towards an emergency call system they neither need nor want (T&A, July 12).
Shipley Community Housing Trust is looking into the matter but what concerned me more was the comment made by the Trust's neighbourhood manager Peter Kelly.
He said that £3.31 was a small weekly charge for the service.
Does he not know that that was about the same amount the Chancellor increased their pension?
So if they paid the service charge they would have to dip into any savings to maintain their standard of living or "cut one's coat according to one's cloth".
It would be a no-win situation for the couple.
