David Williams CC - Letter in Chronicle

Scathing Attack Uncalled For. Title of letter.
I went to college with David we shared a lecturer Terry Hewitt from Hawarden, a man of great personal integrity, who taught Engineering Mathematics. I have never spoken to Gordon Williams. Gordon's record on his election sheet looked very impressive. Two weeks ago Gordon had a long letter published in The Chronicle. To the casual eye it looked patronising with sour grapes thrown in for good measure. There are 2 letters in last Friday's Chronicle following Gordon's letter. Haven't got Gordon's letter as I didnt forsee where it would go, silly me.
In the letter David paid tribute to Cindy Hinds for her honest campaign that centred on the best interests of the village.
Then David went on to scorn Councillor Gareth Williams for offensive comments (look here) and a lack of knowledge of the Penyffordd electorate. Gareth's claim that if Gordon Williams had not stood his party (Labour) would have romped home were seen as a nonsense by David who noted he had 2 independent candidate's to fight.
David then goes on to Gordon William's record in local government. Mentioned are failure to stop the kiln, a badly designed bypass and accepting large developments without gaining improvement in amenities.
( In hindsite I think stopping the kiln was never going to happen, I was part of the stop the kiln group)
( Getting money for a proper traffic calming system when/if the hospital site is developed was inspired by reading David's letter.) :)

I think Gordon then criticised the Pen Y Group as being inexperienced. David backs the Pen y Group for what they are doing.
Gordon then went on to mention that being a County Councillor was a time consuming job when one has full employment as well (patronising).
David finishes by saying he will hound Shire Hall if residents have a problem with services or whatever till the matter gets sorted.
Have sent letter to David.

ps. I notice David also berated those candidates who had personal ambitions beyond the village. I heard one snippet on the grapevine that someone suggested a relative of theirs who was standing was future Prime Minister material. The candidate didnt get my vote because I want someone who is interested in Penyffordd!
