Leader of authority joins row
At long last Councillor Austin, the Labour leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, has decided to join the fight to keep all the services at the PRH and not have them sent to the RSH.
What a short memory he has. It was the Labour-led council, of which he was a member, who decided to ignore public opinion when they agreed to the merger of the PRH to the RSH.
The electorate claimed at the time that the RSH would take all the services from the PRH until the PRH was eventually closed. 'No' said the council, nothing will be going to the RSH from the PRH. Who is right now with many services gone and others planned to follow?
This is all of the master plan which this Labour government agreed to and which Blair has stuck rigidly to in that it breaks the UK into separate regions.
This council is following that by going ahead with plans to take Telford into a West Midlands Super City (region) which will be controlled by unelected officials just as the EU is now.
Telford councillors have not listened to the electorate on any issue - the Town Park Development, The Lawley Village Expansion or The Ketley Millennium Project.
In May next year the electorate will have the chance to say yes to the money grabbing Labour-controlled councillors' stay in power or elect a new controlling body which consults and follows the wishes of the electorate and does not spend money as if it was water from above.
