The situation of carers in Suffolk
Brilliant to see the EADT taking the issues faced by unpaid carers – particularly working-age women – so seriously.
Their coverage today:
highlights many of the problems and inequities faced by women carers in Suffolk: longterm stress, poverty, loss of career, pension, loneliness, the often infantile and wholly inadequate nature of the ‘support’ on offer.
And as the LibDem Green and Independent Group’s spokesperson for Women I suggest the problems experienced by carers would be less hidden if Suffolk County Council made themselves more aware of the challenges facing women in the county!

- Do you want a Mayor for Suffolk? or do you think a Mayor for Suffolk is a waste of money?
- Is loosening links with goverment a good idea or will it just create a fourth tier of government and a lot of extra bureaucracy?
- Will it provide more welcome development or is it just concreting over our beauty spots?
Whatever your views on the Suffolk/Norfolk DEVOLUTION deal, they won’t be taken into account unless you respond to the consultation.
You can do this online or download and send in a paper version (here via a websit which gives you the positive points; my reservations can be found here), or email your views to: HaveYourSay@norfolk.gov.uk
