I SEE the “Chuckle Brothers” were in town this week. Oh sorry, my mistake, it was our deputy mayor Ivan Henderson and local councillor Geoff Smith.

They were moaning about weeds left to grow through roads and pavements causing a conservation area to look a “complete mess”.

If they took time out of their busy schedules to have a stroll though our little high street or some of the other streets in Harwich, they would see some shops shut, some needing painting, windows in need of replacing, grass and weeds growing in other streets and bird mess on the pavements.

Oh, but I forgot, next year it is the Mayflower 400 Celebrations.
