I read with interest your report about the Older People's Council (OPC) (The Argus, May 30).
Since there are many organisations dealing with these matters - Age Concern, 60 Plus Action Group, Gay and Lesbian Over 60s - is this council necessary?
With respect, the people nominated appear to be middle-class, well-to-do individuals who don't know what it's like to exist on a basic pension.
Also, considering it is supposed to be non-party political, all the participants are party activists or failed councillors.
The omission of a nomination for Bevendean and Moulsecoomb shows an appalling lack of communication somewhere.
