IN AN era when people are quick to criticise and see the negativity in our politicians, I feel it important to balance this view and state what a credit Steve Radford and his colleague Mike Butler have been in their support and help in our recent campaign to save the Dixie Dean playing fields.
Despite the fact that we are not within Mr Radford’s electoral boundary, he and Mr Butler have been tireless in their help and given much of their time to assist us in our campaign.
Whether our campaign has been successful or not will remain to be seen, but it will not be through any lack of effort on Mr Radford’s or Mr Butler’s behalf, and they have certainly restored my faith in the value of good-quality local politicians working on behalf of the people they are charged with representing.
