A fencing company has pledged to grit outside the homes of the over 60s in Queensbury and Wyke for free this winter to ‘give back’ to the community.

Owner of West Yorkshire Fencing & Turfing, Luke Fletcher, and employee Dean Robinson have announced their kind-hearted scheme in posts of social media recently.

They will grit outside the homes of people over the age of 60 for free.

One of the recipients of the scheme has praised the incredible thoughtfulness of the pair.

In a post, they said: “Thank you so much for coming and gritting my dad’s path for him so he can get out safely!

“Very much appreciated, a kind gesture at this time of year.

"Kind, friendly and thoughtful.

"Highly recommend these guys.”

So far, the pair believe they have gritted outside at least 25 homes.
