I SHOULD like to thank the editor of The Press for printing my letter of October 14 complaining that our council officers were ignoring my emails.

Within hours of its publication I had received a reply from a senior council employee.

I waited a few days, dithering in excited expectation. Alas! This single autumn snowflake did not presage an avalanche.

I suppose someone has nicked the Explore Centre copy of The Press again.
