No doubt Alasdair MacConachie OBE is well worthy of the Freedom of the Borough being conferred on him (Echo, November 26) due to his voluntary work in many charity organisations.
But does John Williams really come into this category after all the controversy and financial disasters that he and his colleagues have caused the residents over the past number of years?
We would have been better off without him!
And to have a Freedom of the Borough bash in the times of hardship is absolutely over the top.
He’s been paid enough for wrecking the town centre, he should just go quietly and fade into history taking his infamy with him!
