Presumably the upcoming vote of no confidence in Emlyn Dole will define the reasons for this strange decision. Or maybe Emlyn doesn't know? Why tell the leader of Council when in truth he is just a puppet and has no control over anything?

Highly unlikely without the blessing and direct assistance of Mr James. No one else has seen it.<br />And what was the point of this little PR exercise? Other than to protect Mark James' back, it was to persuade the Wales Audit Office, or anyone else who might want to take a closer look at his dodgy dealings, to back off? Nothing to see here...move along.<br /><br />What it may have cost is anyone's guess. I do know that Acuity Legal charged £22,500 for a straightforward Order for Sale hearing and £2500 for a one hour hearing to vary instalments. Maybe Mr James got mates' rates this time, or a discount on his legal bills.<br />To be honest, anything is possible. <br />Outrageous.caebrwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233902574832152764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-11265553427732810942019-02-10T11:10:27.474+00:002019-02-10T11:10:27.474+00:00Don't these Councillors realise that the CEO w...Don't these Councillors realise that the CEO wouldn't show them any loyalty whatsoever and dump them right in it if roles were reversed?

How can we have spending on one hand as divulged under FOI but not on the other, according to Mark James's own firm of solicitors? Does 'public funding' and 'council funding' come under the same umbrella? Either way, questions should be raised as to Acuity Legal's own conflicts of interest!

This is clearly incorrect given the evidence you have gathered under various FOIs on the expenditure to date, which is easily verifiable. <br /><br />One can only assume this is an oversight from the paper and you may wish to send the FOI documents directly to the journalist involved so that this can be corrected and its readers can know the real truth about what is going on at Delta Lakes martin.shipton@walesonline.co.ukAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-76783962505626327292019-02-08T23:31:30.312+00:002019-02-08T23:31:30.312+00:00So, Wales is unable to provide enough home grown d...So, Wales is unable to provide enough home grown doctors for Wales due to not enough medical school places, but Swansea University is persuaded to "help out" Kuwaiti students to qualify as UK doctors? They get a nice trip to ? Swansea's Postgraduate medical school to help them along? Why not just expand the places for local students. Were these Kuwaiti students planned to be coming just to get a UK medical degree? Were Swansea to sell medical degrees to kuwaiti students while not enough medical school places are available in Wales for our own young people and hospitals can't get enough doctors?.
