Be more creative, AM urges Council – Yes Keith you are being very creative


Seems that Keith Davies A.M. has forgotten that Labour are part of the administration of Carmarthenshire County Council. He refers to an Independent-led Council but conveniently omits the fact that its Labour Councillors that are being led.

To quote him "We now have a situation where the County Council is overspending on care in the private sector to the tune of over £1 million whilst reporting a £209,000 underspend within the budget set aside for its own care homes."
On whose watch is this happening – none other than Labour Executive Board Member Cllr Pat Jones’ portfolio Health and Social Care..
He has some advice to the leader too. In a letter to Carmarthenshire County Council Independent Leader Meryl Gravell, the Llanelli Assembly Member has requested that better use be made of public care homes. Wonder why he hasn’t sent a copy to the Deputy Leader – Kevin Madge. O yes of course he is Labour.
Just a gentle reminder to you Keith. Out of the nine Executive Board members who run the council three are Labour.  Eleven Labour Councillors were elected at the last County Council elections in 2008, while Plaid’s group has 30 members but no seat in the Cabinet
