Carmarthenshire neighbour watch appeal
People in Carmarthenshire are being asked to keep an eye on their neighbours during the adverse weather conditions.
Those living near elderly or vulnerable people, in particular, are urged to look out for them, and ensure they have all they need.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s social care executive board member Cllr Pat Jones said: “Many older or disabled people will feel unsure, or be unable, to leave their homes during these bad weather conditions.
“However, it means they may run out of vital supplies and feel really isolated.
“Small things such as fetching milk or a loaf of bread from the shop may be all it takes for someone to be comfortable.
“Those people who buy electricity or gas with cards could also run out of essential power.
“Checking on your neighbour during these times would be very helpful, at least it would ensure they were safe and well, and at best it could even save a life.”
