Elderly people are 'suffering' after a Merseyside town was "cut off from the outside world".
Earlier this month, residents around Lower Close in Halewood reported their landlines and broadband had suddenly been cut off and were told it was an external fault. However, two weeks on this has not been restored, raising concerns that should someone require an emergency, they will be unable to call for the help they need.
One resident who lives elsewhere in Halewood told the ECHO : "If there's no broadband or landline access, what if an elderly person has a monitor or needs to call direct to someone? It's just not good enough. In that area, it's mainly elderly people who live there, what if something happens to them, who do they call?
