Regardless of what seems to be the inevitable fate of some senior officers, Labour and the Independents will still want to minimise the fall-out, and I am certain that they will try to limit the focus of scrutiny. Unless the WG or the WAO insist of an audit, the biggest skeletons in the cupboard will remain there.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-921408433779440172014-02-03T15:30:37.406+00:002014-02-03T15:30:37.406+00:00Ken Haylock ...

Will the conclusion be 'one or two bad apples, root them out, then back to business as usual' or are the conclusions likely to be more drastic for the entire Carmarthenshire edifice?

It seems that the homeward journeys of said chickens have commenced!<br /><br />He is right to ask for an outside force to investigate - there is a much too cosy relationship between the force and the council. They work in close partnership on some issues. For example the CE and the local Chief Supt sit on a community safety committee and other bodies as well. <br /><br />Well done Jonathon that's what I say !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
