Community room spat was

 "communication problem"

Yesterday's blog about the Boston community rooms has brought a swift response from Boston Borough Council Leader Richard Austin.
Councillor Austin tells Boston Eye:-
“The new chief Executive of CVS is appalled that a minor management issue has received coverage in Boston Eye. She has therefore set (sic) me the attached email as (sic) is entirely happy for you to publish it. Please check with her if you wish.”
The e-mail from Ladey Adey, the Chief Executive Officer South Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service says:-
“It has been drawn to my attention that has been a complaint against you by another Councillor plus a derogatory article in a blog of Boston Eye regarding the communications at the Community Rooms in Boston.
“As you know SL CVS and the Borough Council have piloted the Community Rooms and are working together to provide a space for community action to occur in Boston Town Centre. I feel that you are doing everything to support this project, and have acknowledged that when you visited the Community Rooms on 6th October you didn’t speak to the relevant person about the necessary ambitions for the exhibition. This was dealt with swiftly when I spoke with you the following day, and appropriate officers from the Council and SL CVS’s Senior Manager then set up various meetings to accommodate expectations and work out practicalities.
“It was therefore a communication problem which was dealt with to the satisfaction on (sic)  both sides. I am therefore, horrified and embarrassed to realize this has been picked up and used as a complaint. I can only apologize and trust (sic) will not adversely affect our working relationship.
With regards
Ladey.”
As Tony Hancock told the Lady Almoner in the Blood Donor:- “It’s nice to see the nobility doing their bit.”
