ON visiting our old village Burtonwood last May we were really upset on how it has been let to run down.

The great local people, many great friends of ours, do not deserve to be let down in this way.

Two great pubs gone, grass and hedges down the narrow roads (Gorsey Lane eg) not cut and trimmed, making driving very dangerous on tight bends.

Come on council, get it sorted before someone gets killed.

Having said all this, we had a great time in’t ‘Wood thanks to all our mates.
