THERE has been a climbdown by Worcester City Council over the closure of the Guildhall doors.
It was a mistake, says a Tory spokesman. We were wrong, we listened to the people, so let's draw a line underneath it.
Meanwhile, Mike Foster, ever the politician, gets in a few parting shots along the lines of "well if they can't get this right, what else will they cock up" variety.
In another place and time, Mike would have made a fine sniper. Never pass up an opportunity and always squeeze, not pull the trigger. Nevertheless, I fancy that the decision to close the doors to all but the most important persons was not entirely a political decision. For I daresay that the fingerprints of bureaucracy might also be found on the doorknobs should forensics make a check.
