THE letter regarding comments made about travellers in the 20 March edition of the Advertiser came as no surprise.

Not only were there further ridiculous quotes and yet more photographs of Mr Adams’ county councillor, but fortuitously a positive story about a local resident keen to make a difference.

Step forward Michael James and his quest to get irresponsible dog owners to make the effort to tidy up our town.

A worthy front cover story if ever there was one and while of course the borough council has its part to play, it is encouraging to see individuals coming forward, keen to make a difference to their community.
