Loose screws
The following email exchange made its way into my hands (some details obscured)....

Cllrs,
After detailed investigation we have discovered that it is not the doors that are unhinged or that the loose screws are in the door frame.
To protect the public, will all members please meet in the Members Lounge on Monday when they will be re-hinged and their loose screws will be fixed; in as many cases as this is possible.
Dignitas will be on hand for those who cannot be sorted in this fashion.
Thereafter the doors will be sealed to prevent contagion to the general public, and members will be released in early January.
2011.

To all staff,
Due to essential works and Health & Safety issues the ground floor East Wing inner door to the stairwell door (old payroll dept.) will be out of bounds for 6 weeks. The Fire Escape route through this wing from the main foyer will no longer be in use during the works, this work does not affect the East Wing emergency escape stairwell which will remain in operation. Please see below for plan of affected areas.
I will send another email around informing everyone when the works have been complete.
Should anybody have any issues they would like to raise or needs to gain access to this area please get in touch with me.

Any chance of having someone look at the door to the members lounge/dining room. This door is unstable and has been for ages.

Mr.
I have spoken with the repairs and maintenance team and they inform me that new door hinges are on order. Hopefully this will solve the problem but if not we will look at this when the Members Lounge is renovated next
year.

pretty lame
What staggers me about this is that if indeed an Architect was contacted about a relatively minor maintenance problem, what an earth was he doing responding in the way he did. Isn't there a maintenance wallah or some other low paid minion who would be better placed to undertake this sort of fairly menial task.? This would then allow a highly paid Architect to do what he is no doubt employed to do, design things! rather than arse creep a Councillor.
