BBC.
You may be eligible if you are:
- aged 75 or over
- living or have
lived in a care home for 6 months or more
- receive (or could receive) disability or attendance
allowance
- registered blind or partially sighted
The help scheme will contact you by post if you are in one of these categories.

the requirements for Digital TV call the freephone number above.
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
McInally Associates (Stewart Milne agents) held two open evenings
in Robroyston Church to show the plans for the new development to local residents.
an unmanned exhibition was also displayed in Barmulloch
Library.
The community council
encouraged residents to come along on the night, have a cup of tea
and a chat about the long term plans for the area.
Some
of you may have missed this opportunity so the Community Council is going to host the poster
and questionnaire
for a while longer to allow access to as many residents as possible.
