FOR August Bank Holiday Monday, myself and friends organised a day out to York for several pensioners and disabled people.

However, one elderly woman failed to turn up on time for the return journey back to Goole.

After a long wait, I contacted two extremely helpful policemen in a squad car. They were absolutely superb. They contacted the hospital and so forth to make sure the woman in question had not been taken ill. Then they had cars and other officers informed and within the hour she had been found safe and well, unaware that she was almost two hours late for the bus.

So a huge thank you to the police officers concerned - it's very reassuring to know we can depend on our police.
