*yes, I know there are 13 schools possibly closing with another 18 to be merged, aaaand it was only two members spitting invectives recently in a carpark and there's 13 councillors in total plus the mayor (& a meddling town clerk) but, you know, they often bicker and it's all details, schmetails. Sometimes the numbers just need a little fudging.
