The state of the main roundabout into Brixworth

Wednesday 1st July, 2009, 21:54 by Brixworth Online

Hello,

What does it say about how we value our village, when the first thing you see is a dirty and weed-infested roundabout?

Do you think that visitors and residents alike should be welcomed into the village by this? It send a message that we don’t care. I know the Lions tidied it once and put lots of daffodils in, but since then nothing has been done.

I was told that D. Wilson was in charge of it but HEY are they going to care?  Stop digging your heels in about who owns it and get our groundsman down there. PLEASE!!!
