I MUST be one of the few people who actually liked working for Trafford council and it was only because of a restructure in my particular section and the thought of being downgraded that I decided to take early retirement.

Through your letters page I would like to take this opportunity to thank some people I had the pleasure of working for/with during my 30 years at Trafford. The people concerned are Liz Wimpenny, Frank McNulty, Les Coffey, Roger Dodsworth, Jennifer Taylor, Caroline Leigh, Peter Ribbon, the "Ladies of the Cup", Pat Dickens (the best elections officer Trafford has ever had), Christine M and the ladies at Trafford Direct who do a wonderful job but are not recognised for it but are continually verbally abused.

Thirty years at Trafford were the best days of my working life.

Thanks for everything.

Sue Hewitt, Birchwood, Warrington
