It would have been agreed by the Executive board prior to purdah surely?? Don’t think delegated power go as far as signing off on contracts
Being a Councillor isn’t just about each individual ward as I posted in another thread. Big budgets, vital services all come under the council. Frightening that someone with no experience of making complex, tough decisions can be elected. Happens every time though.mmvote for the candidate regardless of what Political persuasion just make sure they are capable……
Sorry but it really worries me that people vote just for the ward and don’t take into account these guys make decisions for all of us.
Vote for Independents this time……expect the same lazy solutions. Paying through the nose for enforcement that could and should be delivered in house. They are neither an Ethical or morally guided company and the residents of Wrexham will be fleeced.
Only yourselves to blame if you vote the decision makers back in. Independents and Tory led remember…the Executive board with Messrs Pritchard, Bithell, Lowe, Hugh Jones, Prince….scandalous that they do not have any ideas.
Thank you for clearing that up Conde…..it’s the Independents trying to get new Independents on side. So not party leaders sorting coalitions.
Agree Dylan. Watching the language used by the executive board, body language as well. Can all be seen on the webcasts. Should webcast all meeting in my opinion.
Conde…..my respect for putting yourself in the firing line.
However……reading your introduction fills me with dread. You change your allegiance to suit a political climate….my opinion. No political party would sound out coalitions this early….unless it’s the Independents, Plaid and the Lib Dems. Looking at Labour….39 candidates they are obviously looking to get enough to take control.
So if anyone is working on coalitions Lib Dems, Independents, Plaid, Labour or Conservatives…….a bit presumptuous and treating the electorate like mugs.
Care to name those seeking coalitions Conde…..or is it just bluster and electioneering on your part?
I think I can guess the answer.
Thanks for putting me straight Dylan. It is interesting though, would love to be a fly on the wall when the various leaders start trying to form coalitions.
And if I am right….what if a large number of true Independents won how would they influence decisions……as they wouldn’t have a seat on the executive board?? Hence why Independent groups form which then takes away their…..Independence. And if they form a party/group how do we measure them on what they deliver if they never had a manifesto?
But the make up of the future council is the most interesting thing to watch.
An old Councillor once said its all about the numbers. That interested me a bit because he said that the executive board is directly linked to the number of Councillors a party gets. So if Labour got 75% of their Councillors elected that would see them get 75% of the seats on the exec board?? Is that right. And other groups it would be the same proportion to the number of seats won. So a Conservative would have a seat on the executive board anyway wouldn’t they?? Can anyone confirm, deny that.
