oh he shall be adored.
A sickening piece of self promotion has appeared in this weeks county times where by cllr mike hodges has taken credit himself alongside sarah'comfort break'millington for the relighting of street lights in certain areas of llandod.
Why not go the whole hog,mike, and claim the whole of the town,radnorshire and eventually powys.
he claims that his beseeching of the authority is the reason for the turnabout with out an ounce of recognition for the work done by the lib dems or more importantly in this case the huge outcry from the council tax payer and electorate of powys in general.
What next for mike, world peace or the quick end of the credit crunch.
only time will tell.
thanks for helping us mere mortals.
another example of tories sickening self promotion that is unwarranted and misplaced.

ban bullying in the workplace
At last a creditable place to help with the appalling practice of bullying in the workplace which is often ignored.
Anybody who heard the account given by Andrea Adams on R4 saturday live 22nd november will have been moved and encouraged by her bravery and determination and appalled at the way herself and her family were treated.
One of the main aims of this blog is to eradicate and bring to account those who have the power to employ but abuse it.
You know who you are and you will be brought to justice!

how long ago was this decided.
the fallout from the big switch off continues with some council tax payers threatening to go to jail for non payment if Powys doesnt get itsact together whether it be the lights,allowances,lost money in foreign banks,lack of conviction by newly elected members.
The list goes on.
in light[pun unintended]of the switch off as part of a money saving inititive together with powys inviting consultants to help with over 300 late planning submissions at a cost of 60k.
how long ago was it decided on the erection of 'aesthetic' victorian street lights around the recently upgraded high street together with the number of lights at the new recycling centre,remember the centre is locked at around five in the evening so no one really needs that amount of lighting.
And i doubt if victorian style lights make much difference to the voluntary workers in high street or the elderly and local residents as they are bound to cost a lot more money.

not quite what wee expect form councillors.
A big story in the local rags and the storm it has created in the letter pages concerns recently elected llandod south cllr sarah millington who when cllr gary price was making his proposal about council members declineing their increase of allowances conveniently popped out for a 'comfort break' and on returning and having missed most of garys suggestion then decided to abstain from voting on the issue.
If this wasnt bad enough she further confounded the people she represents by asking them in the local press what they thought she should do in relation to the allowance rise although she did state that being a cllr takes up a lot of her free time and uses a lot of stationary.
Well thats alright then.
We know that she is new to this level of politics but is she really fit for office,you have to remember the llandod town councilcould not find anyone to stand in this ward so perhaps she was elected owing to voter apathy.
Perhaps another tory who is not up to it and should go all together and not trouble council tax payers at all.

the cyber mob rules
has anyone been to the 'reading' room in the llandrindod branch of powys library services lately?
over the last couple of weeks the pc terminals within the 'reading' room have increased to a total of eight and now occupy the central round table and the long table next to the photocopier,which used to be the designated study area that must of been supported as part of powys' commitment to lifelong learning and education.
it seems the mob rule as the library service has catered for the internet surfers needs but in doing so have marginalised the readers of the dailys,weeklys and the periodicals as well as the students.
howfar are pcc library service going to go?
if the demand is great enough and we all know that IT is where we have all been forced to go to recieve welfare benefits and to pay our direct debits,will they eventually get rid of all the books and turn the branch into a cyber cafe.

out of sight out of our minds
last weeks mid wales journal reported the last town council meeting at which concern at the failure of the police to execute their duty with regard to the drinking ban in the town gardens.
Cllr eddie williams accused the pcso's of not doing their job as they ride around in a panda car instead of on foot.
well everyone has to work to a budget and as we know dyfed powys police have maybe lost 2 million quid in icelandic banks.
Cllr sheila richards was quoted as saying that she fears the drink problem has and may spread to other areas of the town including the lake and the rock park and was concerned about the amount of litter and damage in these areas.
WELL DONT SAY WE DIDNT WARN YOU!!!
alcoholism is a psychologically addictive illness that cannot be cured by moving addicts from one place to another or implementing a policy of out of sight out of mind.
indeed we have witnessed police officers interacting with members of the crew on several occasions but not executing the banning orders or taking alcohol off the drinkers.
Good for them.
they are obviously more in touch with the human condition then the mealy mouth town council who think llandod can be and should be immune to social ills.
the only way to truly solve this problem is to persuade the drinkers that admittance to a rehab programme is the way forward utilising behaviour and rehab professionals.
