Watch Your Back Keith!

Well if the Mayors Office cocked up the seating arrangement at the Remembrance Sunday service at St Peters Church. The finger couldn’t have been pointed at them for the arrangements made out at the City Councils Moat House Lane Depot Wednesfield.

There on Tuesday two the City Councils finest; well one of the City Councils finest Councillors and an also ran. Stood waiting for the Planning Committee to turn up having been invited to attend a briefing on site.

The matter was an important one; Methodist Homes wants to turn the depot in to a Care Establishment. Anyway the Clerk phones one Councillor and tells them the time was moved forward….be early on site at 11.50.Instead of 12.10; to the other the mandarins say “Councillor Turn up for 11.30”.

Both stood there...they do not really get on! Finally biting cold suggests they pool their knowledge… a quick phone call to the Civic Centre at
12 20 leads to the worst news possible. The Clerk is back at her desk, the Chair Councillor Inston is sucking tea! The poor old guys look at each other and wonder who the culprit was this time for the arrangements! Councillor Inston is favourite for the dreaded whispering campaign; keep your back to the wall Keith!
