Answers please on the width of a fag paper. Although perhaps there is one significant difference. A Tory council in Surrey are more open and honest about their stampede to the promised land of privatisation, whereas Carmarthenshire do it by stealth.

As usual it'll be the vulnerable who are left to suffer and of course the whistleblowing employee who speaks out against abuse and maladministration. We vote these County Councillors in to look after all our interests especially the vulnerable but they seem unwilling to fight for us and our rights. Democracy is not working in Local Government when our representatives and other public servants fail to speak up against coercion, self interest, cronyism and conflicts of interest which allows waste and wrongdoing to continue with impunity. Where is WAG? Where is WAO? I've given up on the Public Service Ombudsman for Wales acting in any meaningful way that would hold a truly rogue Council to account or change it's ways; Carmarthenshire County Council is such a Council. It's all pretty depressing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638232046048588614noreply@blogger.com
