The decision by Trevor Weeks and the Swan Sanctuary, Egham, to remove the swans and cygnets fromWillowbrook Road not only saved the beautiful birds from certain death but also saved Billy Elliot of Wadars and Councillor Green from acute embarrassment about why they left the birds there, highlighting their lack of experience in this field.
Coun Green could provide a good example of how to deal with environmental issues by arming himself with Wellington boots, rubber gloves and rubbish bags and starting to clean the now-famous Willowbrook Road area.
This kind of action would correspond a great deal more with his position than his silly comments on the swans' rescue.
I hope very much the undignified behaviour on the part of Coun Green will finally come to an end.
