Nigel Farage says he'll scrap targets to get more people speaking Welsh if Reform win the elections there, so 'if they come here they should learn the language' doesn't apply everywhere then
@DwrCymru can you please explain the justification for increasing my water bill by 50%. You started 26%, yet mine has gone from £251 to £377. Water ONLY! Septic tank & soakaway in place.
Cllr Beverley Baynham co-leader of the Powys independents says that her group is "uncomfortable" with the Council Tax rise and budget proposal - she says they intend submitting Alternative Budget proposal by January 29.
@Masparrow@ElganHearnLDR True. But for me the priority is to get all the kids in the catchment going to JB rather than Lady Hawkins, Wigmore & Bishops Castle. Where there’s no 6th form at either Lady Hawkins or Wigmore so they can’t use that as the excuse!
@NewsatTwm@ElganHearnLDR Yes Twm. We haven’t had a 6th form for years. The kids voted with their feet and go in the main to Hereford. A transport grant can be reclaimed from Powys. There is no point having a 6th form in John Beddoes. Let’s get the kids in the area going to Yr 7 for a start!!
@Argos_Online any idea where my order is?? Placed order on 28th, picked delivery for 30th. Received confirmation of delivery. Had a text late yesterday afternoon to say sorry item been delayed. Will be delivered next day- 31st. Guess what?!? No sign of item and no updates!
Cllr Baynham - she is asking the Cabinet to take "ownnership" of their portfolio and reminds them that they mostly live in areas outside the four hub towns.
@sjheditor I had the opposite. Lady turned up for viewing stayed 20mins. Thought no interested. Next day offers 10k over asking price - cash buyer!
Obviously accept. Visited x2 with son & to measure. We moved out she rang & emailed 15+times. Even emailed to ask where to plug wifi router in
