As this blog has reported, he has been on long-term leave of absence due to ill-health, and has not attended any council meetings for the last year. The vice chair of the planning committee is now Labour's Terry Davies.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-27353349631171426002012-04-14T01:03:05.075+01:002012-04-14T01:03:05.075+01:00In Hengoed ward (Stradey/Pwll) Labour have put for...In Hengoed ward (Stradey/Pwll) Labour have put forward current county councillor for the Tyisha ward Keri Thomas. <br /><br />This is the same councillor who is Vice Chair of the Planning Committee and spoke in favour and seconded the motion to approve planning on Stradey Park at both the outline and reserved matters planning meetings.<br /><br />At the reserved matters planning meeting he said “I am in favour of this development because Llanelli desperately needs affordable housing”. That is true - Llanelli desperately needs affordable housing - which is why it is even more amazing that this massive development of 355 homes has not one affordable home. You’d think that a planning committee member would spot such an omission!<br /> <br />There is no affordable housing because Mark James did a deal with the Scarlets that because of their community contribution (ie building themselves a stadium) they wouldn’t have to make an “additional” contribution of affordable housing too! The lack of affordable housing also maximised the value of the land of course.<br /><br />Labour think so much of the residents of the Stradey area that they have put forward a candidate who has previously spoken out against local residents. No Labour candidate will be getting my vote!Cillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-85683176281885691052012-04-12T15:37:06.604+01:002012-04-12T15:37:06.604+01:00The People First candidate was going to get my vot...The People First candidate was going to get my vote, but then Ray Davies threw his hat in the ring.
