I READ that Beverley Town Council rate payment will be up by 25%, then it states where the cash will go.
Whilst I endorse most of this list, I do take exception to one item, namely and I quote '£5,000 to kick start a new beer and pie festival'.
I have not seen any explanation as to what form this will take.
Assuming that beer is involved, then I find it unbelievable that ratepayers should finance a festival where the breweries obviously will be a main player, making excessive profits.
Why should the ratepayers finance this when the breweries are in a position to underwrite this project?
I have the upmost respect for our local council which is more than I can say for some of our MPs of either political parties.
