The money could be better spent on units for disabled young people.... where can they go. NOWHERE is the answer there.
They did not ask to be born disabled .... where the addicts are sick with their own making:
We do have units for the elderly ( maybe we need more )
Why should these LOW LIFE get help at the tax payers expense.
A better use for the building would be for a young person's respite care unit.... so that loving overworked and extremely unpaid parents/carers can have a break... we only have one such unit in the town.
If these drug/ alcohol/addicts are ILL then they need to go hospital not nice day's out in a residential area.
We all know the kind of person that will be using this unit if it goes ahead.... cut the need for being PC : its all to easy for them to say I want to get better ... rubbish the only way for them to get well is not to drink or take drugs.... they do not care about the people they are hurting so why the hell should we.
