OPINION: What value do local opinion and democracy have?

By Guest

25th Jan 2021 | Local News

65% of respondents who replied to the Vale of Glamorgan CC proposed change to Primary Education in Cowbridge are opposed to it. Of those that were in support, the majority (75%) were staff members or Governors of the Comprehensive! Surprise, surprise!!

Why aren't the Vale Councillors listening to local residents and our Town Council? They are "steam- rolling" this proposal through whilst schools have been closed - so not allowing for a full and frank opportunity for consultation.

As a concerned resident, I recently wrote to the 47 Vale Councillors individually. I received 9 replies. The majority were simple acknowledgements, although the rest were against the proposal. I think that is a shocking response from paid Public Servants.

What has happened to democracy?
