BBI fails to organise yet another booze-up in a brewery

So, after years of closure and hundreds of thousands of pounds of local taxpayers money spent on refurbishment, Boston's Guildhall is effectively being closed to local people for four and a half months as a puny cost-saving exercise.
Once again Boston Borough Council's masters have proved that they cannot be entrusted with anything remotely important.
We clipped our coupons from the hilariously useless "Boston Matters" and took a free visit earlier in the year (locals used to get a free look round every Thursday, but that stopped when the place re-opened, if you remember) and were very disappointed at what we saw.
The place was clean, clinical and utterly lacking in atmosphere. Each time we entered a room, hidden speakers began bellowing what we supposed was imagined actuality of days gone by, which was the final nail in the coffin for any attempt to soak up what little atmosphere remained. As one of the council's officers said at time of the re-opening, the Guildhall is something that the town should be proud of.
Notwithstanding the fact that it picked up a couple of awards in what is, after all, a fairly restricted category, the biggest blunder was to re-open the place on the Bypass Independent Party's watch.
They invariably have their eye off the ball.
