Whilst this may be a County Council area, Rother District should be consulting with the Social Services, given the large number of older people in the district. There is also a need for new, larger houses to have kitchens that can be accessible from more than one room or an annex with shared facilities so older people can be looked after by the yonger members of the family i.e. inter-generational needs now need to be acknowledged. Go to www.the-democractic-link.co.uk see menu go to care homes and pensions for more details.

Whilst this may be a County Council area, Rother District should be consulting with the Social Services, given the large number of older people in the district; there is a need for care homes, something identified in my Land Community Trust plan. There is also a need for new, larger houses to have kitchens that can be accessible from more than one room or an annex with shared facilities so older people can be looked after by the yonger members of the family i.e. inter-generational needs now need to be acknowledged. The extra accommodation can be used to take in lodgers that are seeking refuge or young people that need their own space.
