£1,300 worth of beer poured down drain - every year
MORE THAN £1,300 of town council money is being poured down the drain each year – in stale beer.
The amount of drink wasted at the Festival Hall has emerged as a justifiction for turning old public toilets into a cellar.
Steward Karen Richardson said that increasingly bookings were cancelled because of bad beer but that a cellar would undoubtedly help.
Paul Hiley, pastor of the New Life Church which meets in the hall weekly pleaded to use the space for storage.
He said that as a major hirer, the church spent 1,300 a year. "We do not have a great deal of use for a cellar and neither would a lot of users. Of far more benefit to them and us would be conversion of that space to a store room."
Mayor Guy Grainger said the amount of beer wasted was 'more than 1,300' and that there was no where else for a cellar, but storage could be found elsewhere.
Do you think this is just beyond the pale (ale)?
