Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 9th November 2014
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. The
week in Bromham has been a confusing one. The leader of the Carrot-Rooters’
Action Party (CRAP) Ted Willeybrand has been the subject of a potential
leadership crisis. Members of his own
party have been openly questioning whether he is the right leader to take them
into the next elections for the Parish Council.
And whilst some others are openly saying that he is the right man, the
vast majority of people in the village are openly questioning who the hell he is
anyway.
2. The
confusion continued on Thursday when the Treasurer of the Parish Council
announced that, following intense negotiation with the Council’s bank manager
at Bromham Capital, he had managed to reduce the Council’s overdraft by
half. He said that once bank charges had
been added to overdraft charges, plus the overdraft itself, and then taking
away the number he’d first thought of, he had arrived at a much lower
figure. His calculations were disputed
by Parish Councillors from the other side of the chamber, who claimed that if
you took into account the interest rate applied, deducted last year’s debt,
then added this year’s debt, allowed for two cheques that haven’t cleared,
claimed cashback and added the accrued interest, you get back to the first
number. The bank manager, in a later
statement, said he was totally confused, and asked for his space to be
respected at this difficult time.
