I AM writing this mail to express my families thoughts and thanks to the people of Cornwall for their help and support of my father, Len Brokenshire who has recently passed away after a long illness.

All to often we hear “people don’t care they are all wrapped up in their own lives”. I can tell you that is not the case of local people.

We all moan about the NHS but I disagree the “actual foot soldiers” eg Serco doctors, care nurses, are real diamonds and should be applauded.

The people in this area do care a take time to help one another, so we are not singluar, and this restores faith in society.
