A word of thanks to Gawler council

A CARELESS mishap last Wednesday morning had me losing the car key down a storm- water drain on Adelaide Road, Gawler South.

I rang Gawler Council at 9am hoping for some advice but not knowing what.

A very pleasant young woman said Dean should be there in a few minutes and by 9.20 Dean had retrieved my key from the 2m-deep drain – not full fortunately – and cheerfully hoped my day improved.

Brilliant service.

Many thanks

Keith Ellis, Kapunda
