Someone once asked Huttonian why he lived in such a small uninteresting village like Hutton. The enquirer was from Swinton and was (boringly) proud of it. This writer to the letter columns of yesterday's Berwickshire gives one of reasons why I am glad to live in Hutton. Not Swinton.
SIR, - Swinton dog owners are responsible: walk to better health we are told - impossible in Swinton. Step off Duns Road to allow traffic past and your shoes are covered in muck - do not even try to walk the bridle paths - they are health hazards. We have flower barrels and ‘Swinton’ marker and alongside a heap of dog dirt. That says it all.P.S. Apologies to those who do clean up.
