Why did families have to pay to get into the Dartmouth Park, West Bromwich firework event when the event in Victoria Park. Smethwick was free?
Both were run by Sandwell Council with similar entertainments and equal amounts of whoosh and glitter.
The reason can not have been an incentive to vote for Labour councillors in the Smethwick area, who are supporters of Cllr Eling and were promoted to the council cabinet by him.
Odd that cash strapped Sandwell MBC can always find the readies for vote rigging publicity stunts.
