I WOULD like to thank all the children, young people and parents who attended the party at Hayward School on Saturday, February 15 -- their behaviour was exemplary.
There are so many negative things written and said about the Orlits Estate, and Great Lever generally. There is some wonderful work being undertaken throughout the whole of Great Lever by very committed volunteers.
This was the second of many events we will be organising, and we experienced no incidents, anti-social behaviour, drink, drugs or damage to property.
The young people came unescorted, as their age dictates, and many of them accompanied the very small children. It was great to see so many of them altogether in a safe environment, enjoying themselves.
Once again, children, young people, parents and grandparents from the Orlits Estate, thank you for proving our faith in you is not unfounded, you are a credit to our community. I personally am proud to call you neighbours and many of you friends. I wouldn't be anywhere else.
