Benfleet Councillor Clive Walter tells us “Councillor Sue Mumford and I like to take a pragmatic view of some problems that we are presented with and look for the easiest and quickest solution. We learned just over a week ago that the brambles in a lady’s garden were getting out of hand, looked at the problem and decided in this instance to pitch in and apply a bit of do it yourself. After two and a half hours we felt a lot fitter, a sense of satisfaction and fortunately completed the job before the heavens really opened. We filled two large rubbish bags and crammed a brown garden waste wheelie bin to the brim. Job done!”
