Thanks,
Make Wirral Council Repay unlawful charges to people in supported living

Type: Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes
Description: The Audit Commission have said that Wirral Council imposed a charge on people in supported living schemes that was unlawful. Although Wirral's Department of Adult Social Services claim that these charges have now ceased there has still been no offer of reimbursement. One local councillor has estimated that up to £1m has been taken off vulnerable people in this way. The council have a duty to protect such people from, amongst other things, financial exploitation and yet they have done nothing to put this matter right.

Members of this group are determined that Wirral Council will be made to make proper recompense.
