THE gale on Thursday brought down several trees over our local footpath, as it did nationwide. On Friday morning I telephoned Wiltshire County Council byways department to advise them that the footpath was blocked.
Friday afternoon we walked the footpath to see just how much more damage had been done. We were surprised and delighted to see not a working party sat in a van drinking tea, but one man with a chainsaw who had cleared several trees and single-handedly cleared the path. We thanked him but thought WCC should also get credit for a job well done, and in double-quick time!
Thanks again.
