Do not cut the Meals service for the Elderly in Bristol. A hot meal is important

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Bristol City Council announced they have to say a certain amount of money and they think that the Elderly that have hot meals delivered should suffer. It's disgraceful and shameful that they should have to go privately and pay up to £6.50 for a meal. A meal that probably costs less than that to make

Criminals get 3 good meals a day, looked after 24/7 and if they're good they get let out early. Elderly have troubles going out, are lucky if they get a meal and are lonely. Elderly have human rights too don't forget. To cut this will result in the Elderly not eating, ending up in hospital which are full. Please give a thought for those that don't have family, that only have their pension that fought for their country that they were proud of. Isn't it time we show respect to our Elders
