PENSIONERS in North Wiltshire using the Lifeline Alarm Service are lucky to have to pay only £8.74 to £8.82 a quarter.

In Devizes I have to pay more than £48 a quarter for the Lifeline Alarm Service, which used to be run by Kennet District Council. The council handed over the service to Sarsen Housing Association some years ago.
