SIR- This is a re-write of a letter I despatched during the morning in which the 'I've paid it back' news broke. In it I urged the Chief Fire Officer to return the £3000 awarded to him by three councillors and issue a full apology for his 'error of judgement' , as the best he could do to regain a little dignity from the fiasco of which he found himself at the centre.
I further congratulated both the Worcester News for persisting with the story, and Councillor Udall for his display of good judgement in what must have been very difficult circumstances.
Well ! , the controversial £3000 has eventually been repaid, but I still await a convincing apology from any of the other four participants for their 'errors of judgement'. Perhaps it's too late to hope for this, now that all attempts to cover up the full story in it's true context have failed.
(Mr) N.R.Humphries
Worcester
