I WOULD like to thank the council staff who have been working so hard in Riverside Park in the past two weeks.

They have faced awful weather as they have tried to make the park look its best for everyone's enjoyment.

The men have been removing excess grass from the path edges - not a nice or an easy task - and have done a superb job.

It's not often these hard working people get recognition for a job well done, so I would like to thank them on behalf of all users of the park.

SARAH-JANE BONNER, Southampton.
