I WAS delighted to read Mr Brough's letter last week complimenting the floral display on the traffic island at the junction of Woodhouse Lane with Manor Avenue, which is on his doorstep.

Therefore, he must have seen a group of community spirited residents meet at the island with their watering cans, determined not to allow the newly planted flowers to die during the recent hot weather.

Thanks a lady who allowed us to connect our hose to her tap the operation proved successful. Mr Brough will be welcome to join us next time - if everyone did their bit Trafford would always be in bloom.

Caring resident (name and address supplied).
