I WAS so sad to read the article by Chris Griffin about the hurtful care home comments slammed by planning chiefs in Urmston.
I am the mother of an autistic teenage son and whilst I can appreciate residents' concerns regarding extra traffic, I am stunned by their comments regarding the 'type of people' who would be living in the accommodation. These disabled people are not crooks, muggers or thugs. Their only 'crime' is to be born with disabilities which they will have to struggle with for the rest of their lives.
