RECENTLY, thousands of pounds have been spent on a new super playground in Culcheth, which is wonderful, and also thousands more remodelling the library.

Yet the village itself is looking very shabby.

It would never get the best-kept village award.

There are weeds growing through the cracks in the pavements, buhes are overgrown, and the pavements near the post office and news agency are a disgrace.

There are no hanging baskets or floral displays like there used to be.

Culcheth is often described as an attractive and beautiful village, but not anymore.

I suppose it is the same old excuse of a lack of funds.

I have many, many, packets of seeds just waiting for someone to make use of them.

So, parish councillors, let’s have a village to be proud of once again.
