Nevertheless, sadly unless we all play our part to raise awareness of these cuts and inform people of the effect these cuts will have now or in the future on individuals and/or their families then the despicable Cllrs and civil servants Cllr Sian Caiach refers to in her comment above, will continue to steamroller over the good citizens of Carmarthenshire. <br /><br />CCC's divide and rule tactics are one of the reasons they have got away with things thus far. The next step is conquer! Enough is enough, it is now time for the good people of Carmarthenshire to unite and consider taking other, more forcible and legitimate forms of action. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-64093349534330055422014-01-19T15:04:05.192+00:002014-01-19T15:04:05.192+00:00Consultation by local authorities?

The consultation is just to get a few bones to throw to the dogs. <br />In an organisation with an income of 500 £milions, half a billion pounds, there should not be this desperation for draconian front line cuts and staff losses. <br />What is absolutely plain is that the cuts are planned to be permanent - no mothballing of buildings or offices, whole scale destruction of past treasures and selling off public assets even when their value is rock bottom.<br /><br />Carmarthenshire has been run for so long by the civil "servants" and the elected councillors who legally run the Council can't even be bothered to take control in the worst financial and governmental crisis since universal suffrage.<br /> <br />The casualty is representational democracy.
