I WOULD like to thank those responsible for the improvement work currently taking place in Sunnyhurst Woods, Darwen.

I really appreciate the better conditions underfoot and the shoring up of the edges on the top path. My dog doesn't think much of the fences that come between her and the squirrels, but I feel much safer.

I met a man who regularly travels nine miles to walk in our woods and he was full of praise for them. He asked me to include him in this letter of thanks.

We are so lucky to have such a beautiful and unspoilt area in Darwen and I for one really do appreciate it.
