Unfortunately, the recent letter from M Burrows, of Dringhouses, referring to the number of charity bags being received one after the other does not appear to have been taken on board by the charities.

We have received three this week.

British Heart Foundation for collection Wednesday, Cystic Fibrosis for collection Thursday and Arc (arthritis) for collection Friday.

Come on charities get your act together, this is just plain ridiculous and does not help anyone.
