Smoke on Trent
Ah, local councils. I live in the realm of Tower Hamlets in East London, widely acclaimed as the second worst council to live under in the country (we should start a rivalry with our neighbours Hackney…the worst!) so I am all too aware of the joys of paying a fortune in council tax for, well very little in fact! Still it looks like another member of the audit commission’s crap councils, Stoke-on-Trent, has accidently made itself popular by not knowing it’s arse from it’s smoking ban legislation, has managed to make it impossible for themselves to enforce then ban until a month after everyone else.
Dax Robateau, owner of the Smithfield pub in Stoke on Trent, said, “We were all ready for the ban on July 1. It seems the only people who weren’t ready were the council.” They’ll probably up the council tax now to make up for the short-fall in budget due to the lack of fines….
