AFTER several very slippery journeys in Cinderford town

during the bad weather, I begain to think of the elderly

and how the disgusting state of the pavements in and

around Cinderford would effect them. Even our own

mayor had come a cropper.

Then on Wednesday and again on Thursday came

some young heroes. Armed with shovels and salt, they

begain the huge task of not only clearing the ice away

from outside their on home but the rest of the town also.

They asked for no reward they just did it because they

could.

I would like to express my own thanks to them not

only for clearing the ice but also for showing that not all

young people are bad as some like to make out. Well

done, Acorn House! – Sonia Brown, Cinderford.
