I BELIEVE in giving credit where its due and St Helens Council come in for a lot of criticism.

I would like to say a very big thank you to John Boden.

I rang asking if it was possible for a bench to be put on the field off Springfield, Rainford because, as a dog walker, there was no where to rest my weary bones.

The only seat was inside the children's play area, where dogs aren't allowed.

I spoke to Mr Boden on a Monday afternoon this week and the next time I went on the field, the next Wednesday, there was my bench. I am so pleased and I'm sure I won't be the only Junction resident who uses that field regularly who'll get good use out of the bench.
