Fit as a Grandparent

Laughing NanThe Telegraph has released an article on a proposal to make cities more suitable for Britain’s aging population. Suggestions range from changes in infrastructure/ increased housing to installing swings at bus stops. The report was compiled from charities, councils and interest groups with a heavy input from older people themselves. It is refreshing to see this holistic assessment of  the needs of the elderly, with an emphasis on mental well-being and ‘fun’, as well as meeting more obvious physical demands.
