Looks like the honeymoon period at the council is over.
We have been informed that one of the junior councillors has started a very nasty campaign against a very Senior member.
The junior councillor has been identified as representing Alibon ward.
The subject of the campaign is that the junior member is spreading it around that the Senior member is guilty of "gerrymandering" during the run up to the elections in May.
The he is claiming that the Senior member made sure that works, such as roads, street cleansing and real detailed clean ups were concentrated in wards that the Senior member had close colleagues in. The junior member states that no such works were done in his ward, and in fact where officers were intending to go in and do works they were routed to another area.
Now just a word of advice for this junior member, "just bear in mind that this Senior Councillor has been around for a long time. He also has very good working relationships with a close group of journalists"
So if you are going to be so stupid as to spread lies such as this, just be careful who you talk to because the Senior Councillor referred to sees all and hears all.

IN MEMORY OF DON HEMMETT
We have learned this morning of the death of Don Hemmett, a life long member of the Labour Party, a formidable trade unionist, and a great Ward Councillor for the residents of Valence Ward where he lived for many years with his wife Astrid.
Although over recent years Don has had his health problems, they never stopped him working on behalf of his community. Residents knew that they could knock on his door or telephone him and he would work tirelessly to deal and resolve their problems.
Being disabled did not nor should it have ever stopped him being an effective ward Councillor.
Already we hear that since May of this year residents had contacted Don voicing their concerns about the inability of the newly elected councillors to deal with their problems, and even though he was no longer a councillor Don still tried to help.
The mafia at North street should now be hanging their heads in shame, their decision to get rid of Don and replace him with what????? we are convinced brought about Dons final illness.
The mafia have no soul, and no feeling for the community they claim to represent not like Don Hemmett who will be very sadly missed by his family, his true friends and the community he represent so well for many years.
Don we salute you.
