A lack of care

I have, over the years, complained about the lack of care for its responsibility.

Firstly workers were spending more time in their vehicles than on what they were supposed to be doing, rushing the job and causing damage to memorials.

Then the council passed on the job to the local payback team.

This year the grass has grown 3ft in places and to my knowledge has only been cut twice, the last time when I raised the matter at a Winsford Town Council parish meeting.

On July 21 I visited a family grave to place flowers in memory of my uncle Joseph, killed that day in 1917 at Passchendaele.

I also visited four more of my family graves and found it most difficult because you cannot see underfoot with grave markers and grave edges forming obstructions.

I am in my 80s and am disgusted with officialdom as it is nowadays.

They have they no pride.

People buried in the graveyard paid their taxes and rates also there are a number of Commonwealth war graves there and an annual fee is received to pay for their upkeep.

When is the borough council going to do as good a job as they do around Wyvern House and other parts of Winsford?
