I too am in receipt of emails from the Redoubtable Rita. Her latest missive being in the way of a correction to the one you quote:-
Dear Friends,
I have been 'ticked off' by readers of the Bromley Borough News who have rightly corrected me that the Leader of the Council, Cllr Colin Smith, didn't just say it was 'a shame' that the Vestry was demolished, in fact he said it was a 'GREAT SHAME', whilst being the one person who could have called a halt to the destruction!
Please read the letters to the editor prompted by this disingenuous statement by clicking here and then going to 'letters' on the top bar of website:

Kindest regards,
Rita.
The sheer hubris of this Council is unbelievable. Perhaps they just want shot of the job? They are certainly going the right way about it!
