I READ with interest the front page story about Archways being phased out (The Press, August 17).

It featured Bob Towner, of York Older Peoples Assembly, and Sally Hutchison, of Age UK.

With outside support coming 24 hours a day in this new venture, with changes in aftercare support, where does the carer fit in?

There is also the problem of finding accommodation with two separate rooms.

All these people seem to think they have the answer on living independently.

The question is for some it may not be the answer.

Let’s hope they don’t shoot themselves in the foot.
