Bunting banter in Welwyn

ANYONE sauntering through Welwyn village during its festival period will notice the lack of bunting along the High Street.

As reported in a previous edition of the WHT, this is due to officious fire bosses vetoing their staff from hanging the jovial decorations.

This has understandably ruffled a number of feathers of residents in the village who have revelled under the bunting annually for over 30 years.

But travelling past Welwyn fire station the other day I was baffled to see a huge banner hung from the roof of the building advertising the… er, Welwyn Festival!

Obviously the firemen would not have been allowed to do this, but well done whoever did.

It’s about time health and safety was diluted with a bit of common sense!
