Back Yard Blues

Elwin Gruntley, one of the local councillors who has been strongly promoting the plan to close the Clavical Square surgery, is now recovering in the surgery’s rest and recuperation lounge, having been knocked to the ground in what the police say was ‘a fracas’ at the anti-closure protest. Doctor Maddison’s treatment has proved so efficacious that Gruntley has now changed his stance. This morning he is returning home, but before he goes he is visited by Andrew Scatterly, and together they plan a ‘Pimby’ campaign (Please, in my back yard). The local Clinical Commissioning Group issues a furious press statement.
