Political Promises and Liabilities

The big day tomorrow for some. Our nominee councillors and those ready to gloat at my failure.


A commenter elsewhere brought up the promises of a skate park in Penyffordd.
Is not the art of politics promising to the biggest group?
Or a group of promises to make up a large audience of possible voters?

We have a nominee cllr who is promising to find a doctor for the village. The very same cllr who has sat on his hands whilst doctors have left the village.
Will the Penyffordd electorate even notice?

Then we liabilities. Chester Rd traffic and myself.

Before certain actions were taken I was going to leaflet Chester Rd with talk of our cllrs abandoning Chester Rd. It would have made little difference. Chester Rd does not have many votes.

Anyway sense has been seen we are on the traffic calming list.

If you want to loose votes in the election mention my name or Chester Rd traffic on you sheet. Guaranteed to loose you at least a 100 votes. The price of standing up to councillor intransigence.

It's a price I find acceptable.

Perhaps our new councillors will behave in a different manner to the old brigade ( Tom Jones crew) who by the way are certain to retain a majority after tomorrow.

The light of Penyffordd opinion is now switched on. Councillors may wish to ignore it but it will not go away.

I wish to thank those who have commented sensibly with intelligence, brought the issues that affect their lives to the fore, issues that they are concerned about.

The county council vote gets announced tomorrow night at a late hour
In 2008 they had about 5 recounts with differing results for Penyffordd.
The community council vote Friday lunchtime

  1. Good Luck Colin. I admire your tenacity in the way you have fought hard over speeding through the village. Also your courage for leving your blog open to comments. None of the other candidates standing would have had the courage. Even though you may not get voted in, you have certainly made it one heck of a run up to the election, Penyffordd has never seen anything like it! Cheers.

  2. Many thanks. Lets hope these last few weeks of discussion translate into a better more democratic Penyffordd.
