  1. Mr. Oldham a sheltered housing resident, has to put it mildly betrayed the sheltered housing residents in their fight for the return of resident wardens, the service decimated by the lib/dems with the collusion of Mr Oldham,s tories and labour. Mr Oldham chaired a meeting of sheltered housing residents in parsons meade, asked for a show of hands for the return of resident/on-site wardens it was a 100% vote for. Where was Mr.OLDHAM, when men and women in their 80,s and 90,s appeared on panorama "gimme shelter"? where was Mr Oldham when the overview and scrutiny took place in the evening in the geoffrey room in the guildhall, where all the residents who cared turned up, one a lady in her 90,s in a wheelchair and mentioned in despatches for her bravery in the far east? ANSWER NOWHERE!
