An ongoing issue is affecting some Comhairle telecare alarms.

The fault is unlikely to be repaired over the weekend and it may be until early next week before the service returns to normal.

The comhairle is asking family members, neighbours and friends living nearby assist and support elderly and vulnerable people.

A group message will be sent to all home carers and the comhairle will call impacted individuals over the weekend to ensure awareness.

Faire can still be contacted by phone on 01851 701702 or email at faire@cne-siar.gov.uk.
