MY husband and I would like to thank you (LET, June 8) for highlighting our problem with the grass verge in front of our house.

Also, we would like to thank Councillor Derek Hardman for all his help in solving the problem and also Peter Hunt (director of Direct Services) for a sensible decision on the matter, and anyone else who was involved with this decision.

It was a relief to get up and find the grass being cut. Thanks again to you all.

PAM DEVINE (Mrs), Horden View, Blackburn.
