Dollymarie Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Just seen on Points west that the venue for the Brunel celebrations has had to be moved from the cumberland basin thanks to the council not issuing a licence. The Brunel organisers are saying that they sent in the application in time, but they admit there was an error with it, the council are saying that the application was not received in time.Whatever the truth, surely they can sort it out and process the application now IN TIME for the weekend. Observatory Hill is just not big enough or has a clear enough view to see what was supposed to happen happen.Sort it out! :@ Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Nothing should ever get in the way of pointless bureaucracy.The event should be cancelled. But then it would defeat the whole object as the reason its this weekend is because it would have been Brunels birthday, its not his bloody fault that todays council acts the way it does.Sorry but I'm really getting my hair off about this, he helped to make our city the way it is today, and if we cant recognise that and damn well celebrate it then its a very sad day.

robins72 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Typical of the City Council. We pay extra council tax and they cant even organise an event for the city properly. Especially with the Evening Post advertising it and so many schools spending time celebrating the event that is Brunels 200th Birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
