A BIG thank you should go out to Rob Dunlop and his team for, yet again, staging a great Whitchurch Pub Race.

The event was enjoyed by all and benefitted local businesses. His team were on the streets on Bank Holiday Monday morning tidying up.

The same thanks can’t go to the Parish, Borough and County Councils for their (lack of) contribution to making the Town tidy and a place fit for residents and visitors. Telephone calls to all councils resulted in differing views on which was responsible for removing the weeds now growing profusely in such places as The Square, Bell Street Car Park and Long Lane. Email requests to councillors of all 3 authorities for assistance in resolving the issue sent over 2 weeks ago have not even been acknowledged.
