Memorandum submitted by Jerker Community
Action Group
I am a victim of the Pathfinder plan. I provided
the NAO with evidence requested during the summer. I am part of
an action group that has been fighting this vicious unfair plan
from the start and this letter is on behalf of all within the
Group.
Among our numbers are a couple well into their
eighties, one partner has dementia and his wife does the caring,
another is a war veteran aged 88 and another a widow aged 82.
My husband and myself are 70 and 68 respectively, most of the
people left fighting are well above pension or some are still
in the process of paying off a mortgage.
I received and read the findings of the NAO
and also the uncorrected transcript of the Committee meeting that
took place on 19 November, I was pretty disappointed that the
financial implication we face ie £35,000 shortfall didn't
take more precedence in the debate. Were people at our time of
life with no debt and on limited incomes discussed in all this
and what is the real answer to people who have worked all their
lives to buy their property, only to have it stolen from over
our heads. We feel that we should have a voice alongside you and
your colleagues and government ministers involved, we also feel
that if we have to be rehoused it should be within our own community
and at no cost to ourselves in any way.
