Unless he's got some expensive habit of some sort or other). He owns several properties around the county too apparently.

We saw glimmers of hope in the way the administration operated, a more open and cooperative style. And then we had more stories about some of the secretive deals involving the Scarlets, the RN and bowling for God. The very mention of the phrase "individuals known to officers" should set off alarm bells and prompt detailed impartial oversight. As Cneifiwr says, we are unlikely to have heard the last of these matters. Are Kev and the Labour Party locally and nationally really going to risk further trashing of the Council's reputation or will they act?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
