LETTERS – Congrats on drain tidy up

Whilst walking my dog along Vernatts Drain I found a pair of tortoiseshell framed glasses. They were folded flat and I think they may have fallen out of a pocket or bag.

If this rings a bell with anybody you can text me (I’m a bit deaf) on 07774 883762 and you can be reunited.

Whilst we are on the subject of Vernatts Drain I would like to I would like to give a huge round of thanks to The Wombles – when the riverside was in the tender care of our esteemed portfolio holders it was an absolute eyesore and disgrace.

Now thanks to these amazing people (the Wombles ) with their plastic bags and picking sticks, it’s a pleasure to behold.

Another round of thanks to the two sponsors of the new rubbish bin that has been placed on the river bank, it’s exactly where dog walkers needed one.
