I don't think we were expecting a letter.....but it is a no-brainer really, isn't it?
The borough is strapped for cash, the government is reigning in the hand outs, yet PB thinks it is OK to squander money on there unwarranted celebrations........will the council workers who get the heave-ho feel like celebrating the loss of their jobs?

It would be a relatively simple task for the council leader to make an announcement to the effect 'In the current financial situation, the council feel that public service responsibilities come ahead of celebrating the Royal Wedding'......but then it wouldn't avail him of any photo opportunites to massage his ego.
