New £8,000 mayoral chain sparks ‘disgust’ in Seaton
Residents of Seaton are expressing their discontent after the unveiling of a new £8,000 mayoral chain for the town. Many are questioning the necessity of such an expensive item, especially during these challenging times.
The chain, adorned with jewels and intricate designs, has been met with criticism from locals who believe the money could have been better spent on community projects or initiatives that benefit the town as a whole.
One resident stated, “It’s shocking to see such an extravagant purchase being made when there are so many pressing needs in our community. The money could have been used to support struggling businesses or charities instead.”
Local officials have defended the purchase, stating that the mayoral chain is a symbol of tradition and prestige for the town. However, the backlash from residents continues to grow.
