AS ward councillor I was concerned to read the letter from Samantha Raistrick, Guardian, Feb 11, regarding the mess on Leftwich Park.

I visited the park on the same day the letter went to print and found the park had been cleaned up.

I have asked the council's Streetscene team and the community safety wardens to keep an eye on this situation and I will do the same. If anyone wants to report any issues please call 0800 1237026.

I hope Ms Raistrick will visit the park again in the future, as this is a much valued facility.

Cllr Helen Weltman Davenham and Moulton Ward inc Bostock, Leftwich, Kingsmead & Whatcroft
