HUNDREDS of vulnerable adults could face new costs for their care and some may lose the right to free transport.
Harrow Council is consulting on a programme of changes aimed at saving £500,000 which would expose around 400 adults deemed able to pay to charges for transport, respite and day care.
Residents who already pay for home care would see a cap of £250 a week on costs removed, exposing around 200 to higher bills, while the cost of meals on wheels would also go up with the council axing its £170,000 subsidy
