Mayor of Bournemouth urges people to befriend an elderly neighbour (From Bournemouth Echo)

I've always had the deepest respect for the Salvation Army and also The Lions who collect for the elderly at this time of year. A few quid in their collecting tins go a long way to helping a less fortunate soul than ourselves. Well done Mr Mayor for your kind thoughts.

He is having a lot of coverage is our mayor lately i just hope its not hot air and the elderly and vunerable get priority from the council all year round

Bournemouth Borough Council give a **** about the vulnerable???!!! Dont make me laugh!! See tommorrow's Echo...

Never understood why people have to resort to foul language to express their veiw where minors have access,totally irresponsible and not a shining example to set

Please please respect your elders and helpout if you can

Don't need the mayor of Bournemouth or anyone else to tell me to befriend a neighbour. I have single elderly neighbours each side of me. Just being a decent human being means I check that they're both OK, give them lifts for shopping, medical appointments, etc. and frequently have a chat and a cuppa with both of them. Hopefully someone will do the same for me one day if I need it, but I'm not banking on it.

And also before making comments should be able to spell "view" correctly

Dont know why Echo decided to block out the word D..n !! Looks much worse by replacing with stars and can see why you thought it 'foul' but you'd be mistaken unless you consider the word da.n foul !! Obviously cant print in entirety because will be blotted out! Da.n Dam.

Your right the elderly and vulnerable do get help from a lot of dedicated frontline council workers, whether they be social workers or carers or so on. Its a shame they dont get properly recognised for their work.

Stanley-Watts though is a clown, and probably doesnt even have a clue that social care is a department in the council. He loves getting his name in the papers with his hair brained schemes. Remember this is the councillor at the last election whilst canvassing for re-election in Boscombe said he had no idea that people lived in such poor conditions in multi occupancy houses.

If the mayor was so shocked by what he saw and the people he met, then perhaps he should speak to the leader of the council about why we are wasting millions on frivolous vanity projects and not using that money on helping the vulnerable.

Well said. Agree totally.

You sound like an extremely nice person, it must be a pleasure being your neighbour, hopefully when the time comes you have neighbours as nice as yourself.
