Nice to know they have their priorities right.
There's been a big fire in a multi-storey car-park in Derby, one attached to the city's main live venue. Plumes of black smoke, visible flames, the lot.
Derby Council really knows what's most important, though. Owners of cars trapped inside the blazing car-park will be reassured by the announcement:
The fire service has said anyone with a vehicle inside the car park would be reimbursed by the council for any extra charges they would face.
Note that this is only overdue charges. No mention of what happens if, for example, your bloody car blows up!
Mind you, it's not been a good week for Derbyshire Fire Service.
ETA: Update The fire is out, and investigations are proceeding. Apparently car-owners could collect their cars if they went to the Council Offices by 4.00. Glad to know they are working hard for the ratepayers.
Motorists were unable to recover their cars after the fire broke out.
The fire service say people can collect their cars by reporting to the Council House before 16:00 GMT.
