A rapid re-think needed ?

[Number 6]

It is perhaps the clearest evidence of our councils ability to shoot it's own most vulnerable constituents in the foot that a volunteer service gets tangled up in bureaucratic nonsense. This becomes doubly annoying when the sums involved are so small. Perhaps the new CEO of West Berkshire Council, when appointed, will take a more enlightened view as to the needs of the frail and elderly ? Shameful.

The answer (if one is desired) and solution to this will not be found by playing it out in public but by an adult conversation behind closed doors. De-construct the polarised positions and seek common ground and agreement would be my recommendation. Leadership (on both sides) is required.
