Step forward Councillor Bothwell (Conservative), Councillor Crawford (Liberal Democrat) and Councillor Cobbold (Conservative) to receive your prizes as the joint winners by a county mile of this blogger's Twerp of the Year Award.
The award is made for their collective decision to permit the Long Bar in Tunbridge Wells to remain open until 2.45AM on Fridays and Saturdays with only minimal restrictive conditions. The police, the authority's officers and local residents were all looking for a far more positive response from the Licensing Sub-Committee. Lives are being blighted by noise, public disorder and unsocial behaviour and the taxpayer is picking up the bill for police being called to the environs of the premises and council staff monitoring the disturbance.
What on earth were these three twerps thinking? I wouldn't trust them to make any rational decisions. Hopefully the political parties will de-select these nincompoops, but I doubt it.
