Setting an example

WHEN Henley town councillor David Eggleton took matters into his own hands and a trimmed an overgrown hedge, he failed to impress a colleague.

Fellow town councillor David Nimmo Smith saw a photograph of Cllr Eggleton with a hedgetrimmer in the Henley Standard and then tweeted that he had done the same thing himself 10 years ago.

“He should have worn gloves and safety glasses,” he added. “Should set an example.”
