The second Sour Service Award<\/strong>\u00a0 goes\u00a0to Atlantic Seaboard Councillor Jacques Weber<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, for his weak attempt at trying to write an April Fools’ Day ‘official’ announcement on Facebook, announcing that the palm trees on Beach Road will be removed to offer a better view, written in poor grammar and not proofread! \u00a0I wrote a comment to this effect,\u00a0and was attacked and disparaged by the Councillor, a most unprofessional response!<\/p>\n
