While we are waiting for the Council’s Executive Board reports to be uploaded, and therefore allowing us to published embargoed information on Plas Madoc we have noticed a twitter row kicking off about its contents.

Although the ‘top secret’ thrust of the report is now in the public domain – that the Council are looking at handing over the running of the Plas Madoc facility to a social enterprise – the nitty gritty cannot yet be revealed.

Local Councillor Arfon Jones explained how discussions yesterday were kept under wraps after being ‘sworn to secrecy’, but poked fun at Mr Skates comments in the Leader today where he revealed the currently secret plans.

Local Labour Assembly Member Ken Skates responded:

 

Later he added two accusations:

 

Responding Cllr Jones said:

Marc Jones from Plaid Cymru also added:

For those wishing to follow the twitter debate – this custom Twitter search could be of use!

(We are hoping that the Council’s Executive Board reports are uploaded to the Council’s site at some point today so we can publish the questions and answers we posed yesterday, if not due to embargo rules we will be publishing at 6am tomorrow.) EDIT 4pm: This is now online – so you can read the report by clicking here….!
