Dear Mrs. Brandon,

Thank you for your letter. It is always pleasing to hear from former residents of Fulham.

I was glad to hear about your friend Derek Smeath, who managed the Fulham branch of Endwich Bank for so many years. He sounds a most helpful man, and I’m sure you are right that many residents of Fulham have benefited from his wisdom.

However, it is unfortunately not within my powers as councillor to “award him a medal or the freedom of the city.”

I thank you for your interest in the council and enclose a leaflet on our latest progress in green waste management.

Yours sincerely,

Councillor Elaine Padgett-Grant

Hammersmith & Fulham Council
