the weekly phone calls to residents living in Sheltered Housing have now stopped.\u00a0 He felt this was an important line of communication.\u00a0 He is trying to get SCDC to take more interest in the care of the elderly, and is pushing to get more action.\u00a0 He admires the Warden Scheme being run in Haslingfield and feels this should be run by SCDC.\u00a0 Workshops are being held at SCDC rather
