Meetings (From Barry And District News)

Meetings

I WOULD like to respond to a letter from the Barry Nationalist Barry Shaw who has decided to take a childish snipe at Labour over non attendance at meetings. Let me as one of the accused concerned explain to your readers what my position is regarding the Weston Hill Post Office - I did not attend the meeting he is referring to due to other commitments, however I did give my apologies and also I forwarded a report with my views to the Royal Mail, a copy of which I had even sent him.

Why has he decided to make a political football over the Royal Mail's plans amazes me as the Vale Council has no control over the decision! I thought we were all working together for the good of the community on this issue - obviously not!

But please can Cllr Shaw explain why he hasn't bothered to attend meetings such as on the transfer of housing stock (a Vale Council issue) or why he has missed Barry Town Council meetings to be at the Vale. What hat are you wearing today, Cllr Shaw?
