FIGHTING broke out late on Friday night between teenagers following a dance in Fazeley parish hall.

Doctor Diagnoses Assembly Rooms Ills
A SHOCK diagnosis of the 'ills' of the Corporation-owned Assembly Rooms was given to members of Tamworth Borough Council on Tuesday night by Councillor Dr. Philip Barford.

He told them the “tatty” rooms were a disgrace and an insult to any concert party, choir or theatre group.

The council confirmed a committee decision to provide a cheaper type of curtain material and to call for a report on the future use of the rooms. They also agreed with a decision to obtain comparative costs of buying or hiring a new piano and in the meantime to hire a new piano.

This follows a recent complaint that during a visit by a Welsh choir, matchsticks had to be used to repair a vital part of the piano then in use.
