POLICE are appealing for information following the disappearance of a 50 year-old woman.

Vannessa Myers, 50, was last seen leaving her home in Willow Tree Lane, Hayes, yesterday (Sunday) morning.

Mrs Myers has recently been depressed as a result of ill-health, and family and police are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.

She is not carrying her mobile phone and is not believed to be carrying any cash.

Mrs Myers is a black woman, described as being of slim build, approximately 168cm in height with black, unkempt hair.

She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a red long-sleeved v-neck top and a turquoise cap.

She was also carrying an 'Ikea' carrier bag.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hillingdon police on 020 8246 1537.
