The town council paid a contractor by cheque but when he presented it to a branch of Lloyds Bank in England, it was refused.The contractor got in touch with the town council and said: “I apologise for having to contact you about this as I find the whole situation embarrassing.“Earlier today we received a cheque from Cardigan Town Council and similar to last time, the area where you write the amount is written in Welsh.
“I previously attempted to pay your cheque into our local Lloyds branch and it was refused. Today, I attempted to take alternative action and contacted the business section of the bank before it was paid in and again I was informed that the cheque would be returned back to me.
“I even tried to contact Lloyds Bank, Cardigan to speak with them and although I was guaranteed that a call would be returned in three hours, they have still not been in touch.”
Eventually, the cheque was honoured but not before a stinging response from Cardigan town clerk Wynford Jones.
