I read with interest Billie Waldron’s letter, (‘Consultation was shambles’, Your Views, June 11).
It is not only that the consultation was a shambles, but it was ignored all together when the Tory cabinet of Barnet Council passed the proposal to implement cuts to wardens at sheltered homes.
I was there at the rally last Monday where I heard the outcry of 150 or so elderly residents outside Barnet House.
The emotions were high with naming and shaming of the cabinet members.
I also sat in the packed gallery room to listen to the proceedings of the cabinet meeting.
I could not believe the arrogant “don’t care” attitude of the cabinet members who approved the proposals without any hesitation.
Do the Barnet Tories believe in democracy or are they demon-crazy?
People will decide this when they go to the ballot box.
