SIR – Re the T&A article of May 30 on the closing down of centres for the disabled.
The Council have obviously never heard the saying “A society is judged by the way it treats the young, sick and elderly”.
However, I realise that the country is in debt and cuts are having to be made. But this is not the fault of the disabled, it is those in power, politicians and banks.
Harold Wilson once said: “It’s a question of priorities”, so surely those who have caused the need for financial cuts should take the blame and be purged financially, not the disabled. Thus giving priority to the disabled, rather than politicians’ expenses and bankers’ bonuses!
