NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A plaque made to honour a town’s Covid key workers and volunteers has caused outrage after it was put up with errors on it.
Swindon’s borough council leader even revealed he knew about the ‘sloppy’ and ‘insulting’ mistakes before the installation on Monday.
But David Renard said he wanted to avoid delaying the event, and said the plaque would be replaced.
The plaque reads: ‘This tree has been planted in appreciation of Our Key Workers and Volunteers by the borough. to honour Their Selflessness and Dedication given to the residents and the vulnerable During the Covid Pandemic March 2019.’
