REGARDING L Massie’s letter from Billinge, I agree that axing crossing patrols is wrong, but I can’t agree with the other comments made.

To say there are far too many staff is laughable. The workforce is shrinking year on year due to cuts.

These workers are doing more than ever for low wages out in all weather.

As for the four men to empty one bin comment, these men cover large parts of the town emptying bins, litter picking shopping areas and main roads as well as estates.

These views are wrong, ill informed and damaging to a good workforce.
