OOPS! They didn't do it again -- BT has failed to include Bromsgrove District Council's telephone numbers in the new Worcester area telephone directory.

More than 40 numbers should be included in the authority's entry but they have failed to appear in the new edition, which is currently being distributed.

Council leader Cllr Nick Psirides (Con, Norton) said: "The council is in urgent talks with BT to see what can be done to remedy the situation."

BT spokesman Paul Dorrell said: "We apologise for the obvious annoyance and inconvenience that this omission has caused. We are planning to distribute inserts to all of the phone books which have been distributed to customers within the council area."
