Residents from Chevron Close in Castleton have expressed their gratitude to local ward councillors Aasim Rashid and Billy Sheerin for their support and help in providing funds to convert a grass verge into a footpath.
Mohammed Arshad said he was "really appreciative" of the local councillors input towards the betterment of Castleton residents.
Councillor Rashid said: “It is our responsibility to make sure that our residents’ issues are dealt with as soon as possible. It was necessary to have a footpath for local residents at Chevron Close. The grass verge was a safety issue for pedestrians, especially during bad weather.”
Councillor Sheerin emphasised: “It is our responsibility to help our residents as much as we are able to.”
The councillors, who both refused to take the highly controversial 34% increase in councillors' allowances, said that they will continue to help and support residents with any issues that may arise in the future.
