Councillor adds to Haiti appeal

A local councillor was so impressed by the company's efforts to raise money for Haiti earthquake victims he has boosted the cash total by £100.

When county councillor Tommy Taylor, from Coundon, read that staff at Dale & Valley Homes had organised a dress down day and cake sale to raise money for earthquake victims he was determined to add more than his five penneth.

Coun. Taylor said: "I saw what they were doing in the paper and wanted to give something myself. As a founder board member of the company I thought I would give my money in with theirs."

With Coun. Taylor's donation the amount raised for the charity totalled £361.34.
