Man in wheelchair

[melodyjade]

Came out my flat 8:30 this morning to find the man in the wheelchair drunk outside my flat why do the council not do anything for him I think this is disgusting

[MarleyLover]

The council are not responsible for individual peoples behaviors, what exactly are you expecting them to do?

[JohnL]

weren't they supposed to be giving him priority housing and some other support - hope at least that was done.

Other than that people do get drunk and you can't do much about that

[Renata Hamvas]

The council and a number of other agencies have provided assistance to this gentleman on several occasions. There are several previous threads on here about this gentleman. It's really difficult to know what to do in such a situation!

I worked some years ago with a homeless man who was admitted to hospital but had nowhere to rehabilitate. He was placed as a temporary resident in a local care home as it was the middle of winter and since he was in his 70/80s it was the only solution available at the time. Even though he knew I was contacting various agencies (St Mungo etc)to find him a hostel place, he decided that after a few days regaining his strength and having 3 meals a day, he preferred to live on the streets. An outreach team agreed to keep an eye on him.

Sad to hear about Raynond Burr - how the mighty fall. It is a shame that he didn't receive better life and financial advice. Yes this posting is in bad taste. No, most wont have a clue what I am on about. Worse still I've managed to mix two 60s/70s thriller series.

Confused.Com..........".Benevides's attorney said that tabloid reports of an estate worth $32 million were an overestimate. ".......that suggests that Raymond still left a tidy sum to his sole beneficiary or am I confusing Fact with Fiction here?

Fiction, I am mixing real life in Dulwich with a 1970s TV programme. Glad to hear that the star of a series that portrayed disabled people positively did well, although I expect he was able bodied (and clearly died years ago). But I do love a bit of trivia and better gem up on this sort of thing for when I am Pointless or Millionaire. What was the other programme I was thinking about?

I knew he played Ironsides without even Googling.
