At long last the town council has a plan it may look a little basic but after many years of
not having any agreed vision this is a great start.
I first raised this as a concern back in 2010 and was ridiculed by the old guard.
More recently I raised it again with the Mayor Cllr Alf Dewis and his response
was we have tried and it was to difficult to complete.
Well done to the new Cllrs who worked on this, the plan will be reviewed when required.
I think this might be the sort of serious trouble myself and other new Cllrs might cause the old
guard in an allegation the ex Cllr made in his recent resignation letter.
The new Cllrs and myself want to see positive change like this. Personally I feel if the old
guard is not open to change and professionalism they should also resign to make way for
more new Cllrs as good as the four new ones.
