Through your letters page I would like to thank the three ladies who stopped and came and helped me and my wife last Thursday morning when I fell heavily in Ringwood Road near the “Sweet Home Inn”, on my way to a routine hospital appointment.

They called out the ambulance and a medic was with us within five minutes, shortly followed by an ambulance.

In a busy world it is heartening to find there are still people around to offer help when it is needed.

Once again many thanks to you all.
