1/1 A 10-YEAR-OLD boy with cerebral palsy has suffered a cruel setback after having life-changing surgery to help him walk again. Ciaran Cerretelli underwent a spinal operation at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children in 2018, where his nerves were cut so he could get around on his own two feet. After many physiotherapy sessions, which he will have to do for the rest of his life, Ciaran s walking improved. But he was pushed while playing in Showfield Park, Royal Wootton Bassett, and broke his right foot in four places. Now he and mum Sarah, of Springfield Crescent, are calling for youngsters to be more considerate of others when using the facilities in the town.
