Lynne
So, can you give me the name of the others and/or how I can find out about them. Thanks.
From the newspaper reports it seems it wasn't a case that she wasn't prepared to move (apparently she had already started to box things up in readiness for a suitable offer) rather that what the council had previously offered her wasn't suitable. And as I've (and others have said before) it is all very well expecting people to downsize but in order for them to do so there has to be......... ...
