Women in their 60s and 70s are "sofa-surfing" and relying on foodbanks to avoid starvation, according to equality campaigners.
Councillor Lila Bennett, 68, felt shivers as she talked about the "heartbreaking" situation of women born in 1950s.
She told the ECHO: "You are actually sending women to death, as far as I'm concerned, because some women are starving and having to use foodbanks after working for 40 years."
