The B&R did a big spread about the new County Council this week. Of special interest to Hay is Gareth Ratcliffe's new position. He has left the Conservative party, of which he was the joint group leader in the last Council, to sit as an unaligned councillor - and he now has a seat on the Cabinet!
In the last Council, he was fairly powerless, but now he's right at the centre of things.
With the changes to the Town Council, too, the near future could be interesting....

Does it not bother anyone that he so readily left his previous alleigance so as to be at "the heart of things?" Either he wouldn't know a political principle if it walked in and asked for a portion of cod and chips or else he is still a Tory at heart and therefore hardly an Independent, or rather "unaligned."
Brilliant Blog by the way and better than the B & R every time. Thank you.
This is all about money . gareths pulling the wool over hay peoples eyes again . how can we in Hay trust a man who would leave his party for more money ?
will he do that in the Supermarket debate too ?
As an interested party, Gareth will actually have to step out of discussions re the supermarket anyway. So basically he's shot himself in both feet. It's telling that many feel they MUST be anonymous when leaving comments about this issue. I also agree about the blog. It's great, but don;t be deceived about Gareth.
