He not only reacts to problems but seeks out and resolves issues as a good councillor should. No one should be so wedded to political parties that they cannot appreciate people who improve their communities as independents. One does not need grand visions to be a councillor - though I should add that Councillor Thomas has worked with surrounding community councils on several cross-cutting issues and has consistently worked to end Llandeilo's pollution problem far more than any other individual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-37902108010383026332017-04-23T18:50:34.124+01:002017-04-23T18:50:34.124+01:00The UKIP candidate, Nigel Humphreys, moved to the ...The UKIP candidate, Nigel Humphreys, moved to the area from the IoW some years ago.

In Hengoed for example in desperation they have rolled out a previously disgraced AM and I understand their newest Labour convert, described by some as a local "business woman" in the area, has a history of involvement in some very dubious business practices. Frankly they must have struggled for candidates for these elections as a quite a few of them are of very questionable intelligence and low moral standing within their communities.In their desperation the local leadership really hasn't done its homework. The dirty tricks campaign they have embarked on also does little to inspire. Shame on you Labour Llanelli, you must think the electorate are stupid, you have genuinely turned into the nasty party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-75877541727468710152017-04-21T19:38:39.712+01:002017-04-21T19:38:39.712+01:00Re : Anthony Davies - what a shallow argument to c...Re : Anthony Davies - what a shallow argument to criticise someone for taking a holiday. Surely I don't need to remind you that the Councillor's role is for a set period - and it is in that time that the electorate get to know what you do for the community. His commitment to the village is first class - no politics involved - just doing what's best for his community. Canvassing for votes is a nice 'to do' but an ever open door policy over the term of office is much better. If more of the political animals in County Hall took Anthony's approach , and not just do it for their own self interest and gain , Carmarthenshire would be a far better place to live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-49025558741949600942017-04-21T18:21:02.762+01:002017-04-21T18:21:02.762+01:00Interesting that Labour has come in for another ba...Interesting that Labour has come in for another bashing. I understand that the Police have been inundated with complaints about candidates predominantly from one Party which isn't Labour. They have almost made it a lifestyle choice. Don't suppose they will readily give details of these though given the stance you usually take. I am wondering why you aren't standing for Plaid given that you are the best propaganda machine for them as far as this blog goes.I wonder how far it actually goes..... It is more varied though than your friend from the North and you don't allow personal insults against people most of the time which is reassuring and at least you do nail your colours to the mast unlike your friend who is downright abusive to everyone except his cult followers.

He knows his constituency and constituents very well - you will see him happily chatting to people in Welsh or English in Llandeilo every day. He is an excellent local councillor who knows the issues we have in here and works hard for the people. I don't think you can ask for any better than having a diligent and approachable local man as councillor. I am, by inclination, a strong Plaid supporter but frankly they haven't exactly covered themselves with glory since taking over from Labour on CCC so I will be voting for Edward Thomas. But in the forthcoming General Election I will be voting Plaid.

So Cneifiwr do a bit of fact checking !<br />Also you will find that Cllr Edward Thomas speaks regularly in County Hall and was active in campaigning for the by pass before Keri Lewis moved to Llandeilo less than a year ago.<br />I know Cllr Thomas looks after his constituents in Llandeilo & Dyffryn Cennen and is that not what you want from a local county councillor?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
