WITH recent comments in The Crow about the state of Royston compared with Saffron Walden, I took my grandchildren to the fireworks display on Saffron Walden common.
I just hope that some of Royston's councillors also took the opportunity to see what a similar size town could achieve.

Is this achievement due to the councillors of Saffron Walden working for the town and not for there own egos or blaming Tesco for everything?
