RECENTLY there was a piece in the paper about the poor response of the first aid team at Barkers, in Northallerton.

A few weeks ago, my wife had a fall outside the shop in Northallerton.

I would like to say a big thank you to the three young ladies from Barkers who helped her.

It was a fantastic response from their first aid team. Once again, thank you.
