It is so easy to say how the council should spend our money (Get spending to repair our deteriorated roadways', April 12).

Here on Grahame Park the children and lots of other groups got together to improve the estate. This old heart is uplifted every time I look with pride at our welcome signs.

I don't see the cost; there for all to see is the time, endeavour, pleasure and accomplishment that went into designing them.

So thank you to all the children who have made me proud of you.
