Hi Fozz yes its absolutely right to campaign on this matter.  I dont know anyone personally that requires meals on wheels but it is a must for alot of people so go for it

This is an e mail i have sent to every councillor in sandwell what do you think?

It seems that people in prisons will be getting better meals inside than the elderly of Sandwell when the proposed changes come into action next year, if the people deciding the proposals get their wish.



Frozen processed meals are being proposed to cut costs, what happened to choice and health is this not going to breed ill health, hidden fats and preservatives that will help clog the heart, damage liver, kidneys and confine them to a lonely existence without the day to day contact they get from the current service.



Hidden costs to this new service they propose have not been shown in their new way of thinking, for instance home care will have to return to many people throughout the day to cook the meals in the microwave for those who are not capable of such a task.(which will be many and will continue to rise as they get older and less mobile)



Consider this how often will these people get a freshly prepared and cooked meal if this new regime gets its way?  answer is never all they will get once a fortnight is a delivery of frozen processed meals to reheat. The current service hot food provider guarantees that people get a hot snack , the new proposed service does not guarantee that it will be hot because it has to be cooked by the person receiving the meal and there for cannot guarantee the temperature will be correct and safe to eat.

Thankyou ann at least someone appreciates what i am trying to do 

If a petition was passed around I would definatly sign it, there's a 92 year old lady living next door who walks slowly and can barely hear, god help her if she has to cook for herself.
