"Perhaps someone will come forward," Councillor Ian Bellende laughed in a text message between us.</p> <p>But serious notes abound. The council's reactor core needs to be dressed (in bunting) ready for its sixth birthday celebrations - which also coincide on the same day with the Mayor's annual address.</p> <p>The council has laughed off suggestions that its nuclear programme will be used for weapons.</p> <p>But anyway, Mr Greeth's widow Mary suggested that the bunter might be back on his feet not before long.</p> <p>Though he is poorly, she admitted, he has still been active around the house and not "lazing around like many on benefits".</p> <p>It is not known if the Greefs use benefits.</p> <p>But the council is yet to comment. In a press release, the council said: "Mr Greef's ailment saddens us all. We wish him all the best and hope he'll make a speedy recovery. Get better soon, Alan."</p> <p>Meanwhile, the question remains in this dark northern town: when will the job get done, and by whom? </p>
