COULD I, through the courtesy of your paper, thank the former mayor of Westhoughton, Councillor Janet Halliwell, for her kind gesture in organising a tombola stall in the name of our charity at Westhoughton carnival on Sunday.

Although the weather wasn't kind and very disappointing, she and her friends made the best of it and contributed a boost to our funds, which will be spent on our senior citizens on behalf of the chairman and trustees of Westhoughton Age Support Project.

Once again, Janet and your helpers, thank you very much.
