It's sad to see that the Citizens Advice Bureau has encountered financial problems, so much so, that they fear the first-class charity organisation may eventually have to close.

After just recently moving to new premises and providing such an excellent service, it seems a pity our authorities are so reluctant to give them the financial support they need and deserve.

No doubt the councillors who took the vote on whether to award them extra funding have never been in a position of needing the bureau's advice or help in solving their own personal financial problems.

The CAB do a tremendous job, without them, a lot of people would be helpless, so perhaps the councillors should think again, because it's a service Caradon cannot afford to lose.

It's vital to a lot of people.
