I WROTE a letter a few months back about a rumour I had heard about our council wanting to close the library and museum. My letter wasn’t printed, but it seems it wasn’t a rumour.
Just like the mural, we’ll probably go into the centre one morning and find our beloved council have demolished the library and museum with no thought about the jobs involved. No problem for the fat cats in the civic centre. They’ve given up one whole job – very big of them isn’t it?
Another idea is to put out paintings for display. I believe some of them are on display in offices in the civic centre. Why? Surely these should be on display for the public, and if they’re that short of money, why not sell one or two because it looks like the ratepayers are going to have to foot the bill yet again for another council mess up. How much money do they think we’ve got?
