ISN’T it nice to read about all those officer of Darlington council who are receiving more than £100,000 per year (Echo, March 17)?

I am sure they are worth every penny.

Meanwhile, the same council has completely cancelled the bus service from Brafferton.

This resulted in a tearful 84- year-old woman having to walk more than a mile uphill to Coatham Mundeville on a bitterly cold day, just so she could catch a bus into town.

It really warms the cockles of my heart to see the council get its priorities right. Almost makes you glad you pay your council tax, doesn’t it?
