An 87-year-old lady with dementia was threatened with forced entry to her sheltered home because she didn't respond to a council letter.
Margaret Cook was told that if she didn't arrange a time for a gas safety check to be carried out at her Renfrewshire house she'd also be charged for the action.
Now the pensioner's son has condemned Renfrewshire Council's actions, explaining his mum lacks the capacity to make arrangements and he has made them aware previously that he has power of attorney over her affairs, the Paisley Daily Express reports.
