Shining example of a caring person

Now, as secretary of the Friends of Eagle Rec and a resident of South Town, I want to say a great big thank you to Cllr Alan Wilkinson for his help on that issue.

He stood up for us when no-one else did. Even more, he is a wonderful District Councillor who works tirelessly for the people of Brunswick.

He works as a governor with Shrubland Street School, hearing kids read every single week; he persuaded the council to put up new goal posts on the Rec. Alan points with pride at the green spaces he has persuaded the council to maintain. He is a key player in getting the right sort of housing into the area. The list goes on and on, large and small. When a noisy manhole cover was driving the residents of Tachbrook Street crazy – Alan got it fixed overnight, and people there can sleep soundly again.

Whatever happens in the elections, I will always be glad that I got to know Alan. He doesn’t blow his own trumpet, so I am writing this letter now. Alan is a shining example of how to care about people and places. Long may he continue with his work!
