It's rare to see our council leader without a beaming smile on his face but I see him looking rather dour on page 7 of Thursdays Lancashire Telegraph - how did we miss that?

It seems that he must pay legal costs in excess of £6,000 plus £550 damages to labour group leader and AccyWeb member Graham Jones for unauthorised use of one of his photographs on a promotional poster leading up to the local elections. (On closer inspection it seems that not only a photograph was used but also the accompanying blurb.)

Councillor Jones will apparently be donating the damages to charity. Nice gesture Graham.

Hmmm - I wonder if I should sue the Obsverver for using my photo of the Arndale Clock on their front page 2 years ago and donate the money to Maundy Grange?
