AFTER the recent lightning strike on a block of flats in the St Benedict Road area, it was inspiring to see people visiting their neighbours on the estate to see if they were all right, and help them where possible.

To see people acting this way has made me realise how community spirited our area is when situations such as this arise, and how proud I am to be around people who care about others rather than themselves in hours of need.
