Someone else who has been curiously quiet recently is the Chief Executive, Carmarthenshire County Council, this could be because (it is rumoured), he's been very busy filling in job application forms to find alternative employment. However, I am still waiting for the reassurance that the tendering process for the St Catherine's Walk development was all above board, after the Lincoln based developers, Simons Group, were fined for bid-rigging. I notice a story in the Carmarthen Journal which highlights the issue, but am disappointed that there is no comment from the Council.
It is also rumoured that Mr James is so annoyed with the article he is apparently withdrawing Council advertising from the paper. This must be incorrect; surely in the interest of reassuring the taxpayer he would welcome queries regarding this matter and at least offer to have a quick check of the tendering process...wouldn't he?
If the Chief Executive is planning on deserting the sinking ship, perhaps the Auditor should be asked to look into this and other Council funded projects...and a few other matters too...?
