Councillor Mullen has been liaising with City West to identify local vulnerable people in the Barton area as not all people have internet connections and may not be able to access information on the websites. Most basic services have resumed and you can find advice and information here: http://www.citywesthousingtrust.org.uk/home
The contact number for emergency heating / repairs is:0300 123 5522. If you are in Barton and just need something from the shops or advice because you cannot get through to City West then please call Cllr Mullen on 0161 707 4519.
In Irlam and Cadishead, Christine Hudson the Chairman of the Irlam & Cadishead Community Committee and Former Salford Cllr Roger Jones have issued the following statement:
We accept that it is impossible for local authorities to grit all roads and pavements and that some of the most vulnerable people may be housebound as a result of the ice and snow. As a result, we are calling upon all residents to identify those people in our local community who cannot get out to the shops and don’t have any nearby relatives and to check that their heating is ok and that they have enough food to last the next 2/3 weeks. ”I feel that only a real community spirit can combat the terrible weather conditions that we are currently experiencing”
Christine Hudson the Chairman of the Irlam & Cadishead Community Committee said ” I am particularly worried about elderly and disabled people and I would like to see all local residents giving some thought to people who may be really struggling with the current weather conditions”
We would like to see all local authorities, MPs and political parties supporting this initiative.
For irlam & Cadishead, if you have issues seeking assistance please call 0161 775 1261.
