Talk about rubbing salt in open wounds!

While the good folk in Southend wait eagerly for the day when the Southend bandstand will be reopened, the mayor and other Southend councillors enjoy a few sarnies and a glass of wine at the opening of a private one by Weston Homes.

Perhaps the reason for not taking the advice of the borough solicitor not to attend was that it was a practice for the day when ALL the public can enjoy and celebrate a bandstand amenity.
