An Adver reader has praised the unsung heroes of Swindon's parish and borough councils for their everyday efforts to keep the town in good shape.
Stella Hopkins of Parkstone Walk felt compelled to write in to publicly share her appreciation of the local authority's staff during the festive season.
She said: "As Christmas is an opportunity to give thanks for another year passing, may I extend my thanks and appreciation to all the unsung heroes from all the Swindon Parish Councils, and the Swindon Borough Council, who work out in their communities, in all winds and weathers, to keep us clean and tidy, maintain our infrastructure and generally ensure things run as smoothly as funds allow.
Don’t miss out on our biggest sale of the year!

"They didn’t get a clapping or pot banging tribute during the Covid experience, but still carried on quietly.
"If you have the opportunity, say “thank you” to them when you see them out and about and remember, whatever your political leanings, that these are employees of the system.
"They don’t make the policies, they just work within their remit.
"Thank you, one and all and, as a Park South resident, the Christmas tree in Cavendish Square is much appreciated."
