I WOULD like to say a huge thank you to the council staff who cleaned up the park facing St Peter's school, Farnworth, were the travellers had set up camp a few days ago.

The mess was a disgrace with litter strewn everywhere and bags of rubbish, nappies and tins of everything. It was a shock to see the mess after they left on Thursday. On walking my dog later the council had been and cleaned the park totally of the rubbish. The kids were back out again playing and the park looked lovely, a real transformation from that morning.

Whoever did the clean up should be praised for there great efforts and hard work and a real credit to Bolton council.
