COULD I thank everyone involved in the "Get up and go" scheme organised by Chorley Borough Council throughout the school summer holidays.

My daughter has been on several of the activities such as girls' football, dance and art workshops.

They have been superbly organised by staff who have shown a professional and caring attitude towards all the children. My daughter has come through the holidays with a smile and her education greatly enhanced as a result of all the hard work that has been put in.

Local authorities are often criticised, but on this one I take my hat off and offer a heartfelt "thank you" to all involved.
