We are in the 21st century just a few clicks from your local councillor. Penyffordd residents are supposed to stand for council to help residents and the village. However a few cllrs hide their email addresses or never return an email. We have 12 cllrs, only three respond to emails.
-
Cllr Linda Vidamour, Cllr Cindy Hinds and Cllr David Williams.
Not all the others use email but those that do and hide them should consider why they stood for council.

Quote from above puts it succinctly
"
Johnny Chatterton, the digital campaigns manager for 38 Degrees, had asked the MP to clarify that he did not want constituents to be able to contact him "quickly and easily".
Chatterton said: "It appears that you are asking to be removed from a system that quickly and easily allows your constituents to get in touch with you about issues they care about.
"You mentioned complaining to the information commissioner. As an MP you are paid, with taxpayers' money, to represent your constituents, and we believe that as your parliamentary email address is in the public domain it's legitimate to use it to facilitate your constituents getting in touch with you. We have been in touch with the information commissioner to confirm this.
"Before the election, when you were still a candidate, you were happy to encourage people to email you and provided an email address for us to use – I expect some of your constituents would be disappointed if it was the case that you were less happy to be contacted now you have been elected."
