I AGREE heartily with Mr Robert Stansfield, of Pensioners' Voice (LET, February 24) when he says pensioners would be among the hardest hit by the cost of TV licences going up.
But he says that pensioners in sheltered accommodation get free licences, whereas people living alone in their own homes have to pay.
Well, I am sorry, but not all pensioners in sheltered accommodation are so lucky.
I, like many more, have to pay in full for my TV licence. You only get one free if you have a resident warden.
