Barnet sheltered housing wardens, a temporary reprieve
Barnet Tory council’s decision to axe its sheltered housing wardens and replace them with a roving support service with far fewer staff was ruled illegal by the High Court in December 2009 because in its consultation Barnet had not met its duties under disability discrimination legislation. But it is likely that, once the elections are out of the way, they will try again, this time making sure they comply with legislation.
