A PENSIONERS' bible has won the backing of a Warrington MP.

Helen Jones, MP for Warrington North, has welcomed the Pensioners Guide, which has been published with the help of Age Concern, Help the Aged and the Local Government Association.

The guide contains useful information for pensioners on money and tax, health, learning, travel and leisure and legal services, among other topics.

Helen said: "The guide represents a welcome new resource for pensioners. It helps to provide a better service and deliver it in a more user friendly way. It is not only aimed at pensioners but will also help their families and people approaching retirement."

Copies are available by calling 0845 6065 065 or textphone on 0845 064 064.
