Why doesn't he just retire?<br /><br />His pension will be far more than most people will receive as a salary for a much tougher job.Sentinelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-67675157356305951962014-11-07T13:23:42.580+00:002014-11-07T13:23:42.580+00:00As an employee of CCC I am thrilled with most of t...As an employee of CCC I am thrilled with most of this report which confirms what most employees with any intellect and integrity think of both the policitical and officer leadership of the LA.<br />Time for change , a political reboot as described and a Head of Paid service who will lead and inspire rather than use other peoples' intellect and words as if they were his own. <br />The population of Carmarthenshire deserves betterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-28844876255828895192014-11-07T09:18:12.320+00:002014-11-07T09:18:12.320+00:00At this point it is not what people say, or what t...At this point it is not what people say, or what they say they will do but about what they REALLY do. Unfortunately, this is a council that says one thing to the electorate and does another thing behind their backs.<br /><br />I remain sceptical that the group that caused the problem (and was not the group that called for change) is the group charged with sorting all this out. Not only do I think they lack the will, I think they lack the intellect.<br /><br />Madge has to resign the chairmanship and there has to be a "council of unity" with all parties and councillors participating equally but given past events this just isn't going to happen and it may even get worse before the ballot box makes it possible for it to get better.Redheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-27543014503449723022014-11-07T07:25:03.336+00:002014-11-07T07:25:03.336+00:00Whichever way you look at it this report is an abs...Whichever way you look at it this report is an absolutely damning indictment against those who have been running the council for the past number of years.<br /><br />The leader of the council is culpable and in any other walk of life such a report would be met with a resignation. This is not going to happen.<br /><br />I feel that now we have an ideal opportunity to re-boot the politics in the county. I am by no means a Plaid supporter but how they can be ignored is absolutely bizaar - there must now be a Labour/Plaid arrangement to bring some sense to proceedings.<br /><br />I bang on about the Labour group in Llanelli - they have it in their power to force change. They must know that Kev is out of his depth and brings the council into disrepute every time he speaks. Llanelli is labour to its roots but they must not take the vote next year for granted - the Labour councillors must wake up, smell the coffee and move things on.<br /><br />The days of elderly, snoozy old men sitting on the council and never speaking must surely be gone.<br /><br />Finally if change happens it will not be because kev wants it to change. Change has been forced primarily because of one brave womans efforts. Caebrwyn forced the council meetings to be filmed and stood up for fair play at every turn. Other bloggers have lifted the lid but the lions share of the heavy lifting was done by her.<br /><br />I think Kev should nominate her for the Welsh Civic Award or whatever its called for services to local government.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-58348395759922776602014-11-06T20:24:19.301+00:002014-11-06T20:24:19.301+00:00The whistle blowing policies only mean anything if...The whistle blowing policies only mean anything if they are actually followed, and one of the very things this report highlights is that the council has form when it comes to comes to following procedures.<br /><br />MuppetManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401955823745894344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-40968666534864157152014-11-06T19:08:56.936+00:002014-11-06T19:08:56.936+00:00This is a very inciteful blog and this comment com...This is a very inciteful blog and this comment comes from a Labour supporter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
