Romney Marsh Ward results ?
Amended the post and are now up on the page, apologies for the oversight but Public Face was having some well earned kip.
Thank you 🙂
Sorry to see Bryan not get in. But surprise surprise Ann Berry keeps her seat. The old ***.
The local Conservatives have got what they richly deserved. It was not just a Brexit backlash but, also reflection on their sub-standard performance whilst in office. Their predilection for cronyism, secrecy and dubious planning decisions has caught up with them.
Now it is up to the opposition parties to work together and form an administration. They need to put the needs of the district and its residents first. One way they can do this is to embrace openness in the way in which decisions are reached. They should also begin investigations into the dubious dealings of the previous administration and publish the results.
One final point to make is that this result would not have been possible were it not for the work of the ShepwayVox Team. They have shone a light into some very dark corners in the district – particularly planning issues. They have stepped in to fill a void created by the precipitous decline of the local newspapers by exposing stories and issues that would never have come into the public domain. For this we should all be grateful.
We the Shepwayvox Team thank for your kind comments.
Nice try Bryan. But PB above is right you know. Perhaps you and the SV Team are just not meant to be politicians. You all do a damn fine job of holding the Council and its Cllrs to account, and I for one hope you will continue to do so in this new era.
Mr Wimble: loose cannon or good egg? Pretty loose and good in parts maybe?
Nice try Bryan. Hang on in there, you are doing a really excellent job
Over the last four years the Shepwayvox Team have agitated, annoyed and exposed the wrong doing of our Council and elected Cllrs. They have been a major contributor to the change that has happened by shaping the political environment in and across our district. I personally wish to thank them as a newly elected Cllr, without them I do not believe the change that has happened, would have happened.
Thank you, but it is much bigger than us. All those who shared information along the way have helped as well. We are grateful to them and you for your kind words.
I’ll second what the above newly elected Cllr says. Without the Shepwayvox Team, I as a newly elected Labour Cllr to the District chamber do not believe the wave of change which has happened across our district would have happened. Thank you for all your efforts over the last long four years.
