ALSO the public need to know what their representatives are up to in their name. I too hope Y Cneifiwr will start up his blog again once he's had some time out. You bloggers have given me the incentive to actually go more public with my concerns since no one in the council were willing to look into matters constructively or even the Ombudsman, Welsh Assembly and Police. Becoming more public in my condemnation of this authority is an effort of last resort, to force transparency, accountabiliy and change in regard to officers and the members actions which seem to fail the interests of the public so often. <br /><br />Jennifer Brown (whistleblower)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-68160499120065194132015-06-22T13:26:54.264+01:002015-06-22T13:26:54.264+01:00I entirely understand why you feel you must call i...I entirely understand why you feel you must call it a day: I think all bloggers who write about local government reach a level of exhaustion - and despair - that means it is necessary to take a step back, from time to time. I've felt the same after the election, and have only just allowed myself the indulgence of writing anything further. But I hope that you will continue to write, somewhere, as your blog has been so consistently well written, well judged - and so amusing.

Your blog has helped me understand whats taking place in the CCC and how the maladministration and wrongdoing abounds throughout not only in Social Care. We will still have Jacqui's blog and the new Heralds but it'll not be the same without you. I'm not just saying that because you published my comments though that allowed me to get things off my chest which has helped me carry on so thanks for that. You & Jacqui have given a voice to people who no doubt (like me) needed to feel they were being heard as the CCC has no intention of listening. I agree with everything everyone has said about you and your blog and wish you well in you new venture. Maybe you could periodically let us know all is well.
