(referring to ammanford relief road part 2.. part 1 was meant to cost 3million in 2002 but by the time it got built in 2008, 3/4 of a mile through trj old yard cost 8m<br /><br />But green campaigners have hit out at Cllr Madge's comments.<br /><br />"An area like the Amman Valley does not need an Assembly candidate with such a shortsighted and insular approach to politics,"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-66136604114762017682012-03-22T12:58:18.900+00:002012-03-22T12:58:18.900+00:00Excellent post by the way.

We in the then Carmarthenshire Ratepayers' Association (with a candidiate - me) objected strongly to the Electoral Services Commission. However the Electoral Services Commission - another toothless body like many regulatory bodies/complaints handlers - wriggled out of actually doing anything to intervene, arguing that the money was public and so it wasn't an issue. Or some such balls - I've got the letter somewhere.......Tessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-53139964365196583932012-03-22T09:04:34.615+00:002012-03-22T09:04:34.615+00:00@Stuart I don't think what happened in 2008 wi...@Stuart I don't think what happened in 2008 will be repeated, however well intended the scheme was, there were a lot of complaints from non-sitting candidates at the time. As for 2012, electioneering is all it's various forms is to be expected and as long as no one has an unfair advantage, then the voter will then decide who is best for the job.caebrwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233902574832152764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-24209836420166408912012-03-21T20:17:32.682+00:002012-03-21T20:17:32.682+00:00Literally buying votes.
