As temperatures dip below zero this week another layer of clothing is called for. Indeed, the Mayor is being measured up for an extra special extra layer of clothing.
Samples have been ordered to further the Conservatives' proposal to invest in some mayoral robes.
Wouldn't taxpayers' money be better spent on some more tangible service that the whole community can benefit from rather than finery for one individual?
Its not just the expense of the initial investment, there will also be ongoing maintenance and cleaning costs. Such robes cannot just be chucked in the washing machine and will most certainly need special attention when there is an inevitable dribble of prawn cocktail or a canapé gets mashed into the faux-fur.
Besides, the Mayor will look lovely in whatever he wears. And the current incumbent looks just radiant as she is!
