I AM writing this letter for publication in the opinion pages please ON Tuesday, August 26, I unfortunately had a fall outside the Halifax bank in Buttermarket Street Warrington.

I would like to thank the many people who came to my aid , especially the two ladies who attended to me and administered first aid to a head injury I had sustained in the fall.

Also many thanks to the staff in the Halifax for their help; people couldn’t do enough. Also many thanks to the paramedics who came. Without your help I'd have been at a loss. I am very thankful.

Yours sincerely Brian Ball Orford
