Changes to residential care Services

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council will be holding a series of public consultation events on the proposed changes to residential care services for older people and how this will impact on the four residential homes that are directly managed by the Local Authority.

The event for Trefechan will be held on the 28th April 2009 from 6pm to 8pm in the Trefechan Community Centre.

Please come along and have your say as this will affect all of us in the future.
