I AM writing to thank you for your article in issue May 17 ("Region's clean sweep") and to say at long last that road sweepers have got some recognition for the work that they do.

My brother is a road sweeper who, on a daily basis, puts care and attention into his daily rounds and surrounding areas with, I may say, not much thanks from the residents of Huntingdon, Brampton and Godmanchester.

So please be a bit more supportive of good workers, and help keep our district clean - and to the sweepers, keep up the good work.

MAGGIE KENNEDY, Huntingdon
