staff are female.
True, but there is a super-
market just up the road. Do
we know how many staff
have to pick kids up from
school?
Perhaps we should research
that. Ill ask Human Re-
sources to look into it.
What do you think about a
crèche, then?
OK but it doesnt solve the
problem for those who need
to collect school kids. What
about seeing how many are
affected and then, if it is a
problem, consider looking at
the shift arrangements?
Lets move on. Have either
of you any thoughts on the
accessibility of the new site
for lorries and vans? How
near the roads and rail ser-
vices is it?

Welcome everybody and its
good to see so many of you
have been able to make this
meeting. Now we all know
the topic for discussion so I
wont waste your time going
over it again. You will be

pleased to know that Mr
Claydon, who is the devel-
oper, is with us tonight. Per-
haps I could ask you, Mr
Claydon, to put forward
your ideas about the project.
Thank you. It is very kind of
you to invite me here tonight
to tell you about Blue Notes
nightclub and disco bar.
Look here Mr Claydon, lets
get this quite clear: we dont
want your nightclub or what-
ever it is. Its not because
we’re old and difficult. We
just dont want the noise and
the mess and we certainly
dont want hordes of drunk
teenagers on our streets.
I assure you, nor do I, and
thats why I think this club
will be good for the
neighbourhood. At the mo-
ment theres nowhere for
young people to go. They
get into trouble. This club
will help keep them off the
streets and stop some of that
crime. Itll be a safe place
for kids to enjoy themselves.
Maybe it will but its still
going to be noisy. We’re
going to have our peaceful
nights ruined by loud music.
There are very strict laws to

control the amount of noise
we can make
And whats going to per-
suade us that you are going
to be able to keep them, Mr
Claydon? All we’re in for is
night after night of bad be-
haviour and fighting on the
streets when you finally
close. Its just not on
I wonder if we could just let
Mr Claydon have his say and
then we could ask some
questions. Its all getting a bit
out of hand at the moment.

Id like to begin by thanking
you all for your loyalty and
commitment to the company
over the last few months.
However we do need to look
at the rise in the number of
complaints weve been re-
ceiving. Jim, could you give
us your report?
Yes, er, weve had several
quite serious, formal com-
plaints from a number of
people. In particular, there
have been some problems
with the Hotel Splendide.
Oh, no, not again!

The most serious complaints
were from two couples and a
family who stayed there in
July. Mr and Mrs Silk said
that the room was dirty and
the toilet was blocked. We
moved them to another hotel
after three days but it was
further from the beach so
they werent too happy.
Then a Mr and Mrs Norrish
said that a group of young
men in the room next door
made their lives a misery
with their noisy parties. In
fact one of the young men
apparently broke into their
room one night and tried to
get them to dance. Mr Nor-
rish then lost it a bit and a bit
of a fracas broke out. The
hotel manager had to be
called. He was not amused!
Then there was the Barnes
family. They all came down
with food poisoning after a
meal in the hotel restaurant.
The two youngest children
had to go into hospital for a
couple of days and then the
rep had to get them an early
flight home as they didnt
want to stay any longer.
Was any compensation paid?
Yes. The Silks and the Nor-
     staff are female.                          pleased to know that Mr               control the amount of noise               V2   The most serious complaints
