REGARDING the various comments on the flats for the mentally ill, I for one think it a great idea.

People who are mentally ill are not criminals and do not need to be avoided. They are human beings who need love, help and, perhaps, more understanding than most.

Do the people who are complaining realise that there is a fine line between sanity and insanity, and quite soon it could be them that needs the same help?

Give these young people a home with help and security. Well done to the council, WPHA and Scope.
