'˜No invitation' to flood alleviation scheme for Louth's flood warden
Ministers and senior council figures will attend the official opening of Louth's flood alleviation scheme next Friday... but there was no invitation for the town's long-serving flood warden, Darren Hobson.
Mayor of Louth, Coun Pauline Watson, and Town Clerk Linda Blankley have been invited to the opening ceremony, but Darren - who now serves on the town council - appears to have been overlooked.
At the council’s meeting last Tuesday, Coun Andrew Leonard questioned why Coun Hobson had not been invited.

Coun Jill Makinson-Sanders exclaimed: “But Coun Hobson has been flood warden for eight years!”
