As Chairman of the Huish Episcopi Parish Council, I would like to acknowledge with thanks the sterling work that has been and continues to be done around and about by one of our parishioners, John Gale.
John's efforts are aimed at reclaiming our footpaths, a notable example being the one opposite the Huish Episcopi Academy. The verge had become so overgrown and with brambles cascading down from above it was difficult for children and mothers with buggies to walk along safely, some even choosing to walk in the road in preference.
We had hoped that the Highways Department would have carried out this work, but to no avail.
John stepped in of his own volition, the photographs illustrate the excellent result that he has achieved.
Thank you John.
Shirley Nicholas.
