Yep, it's got to be said, some Labour members were completely right at yesterday's County Council Planning Meeting. Cllrs Dai "Rocks" Lewis and Paul Thomas made some really good points, most of which were ignored by their group.
Paul Thomas for example argues that the proposed 4,000 home village at Llandarcy should on principle have at least 20% of affordable homes. Damned good idea. I wish I'd thought of that (though it's unlikely that I'd have got any support). Dai Lewis in the meantime talked about the necessity to challenge developments that have a detrimental effect on communities, particularly in regard to drainage, sewerage and access.
Again, bloody good sense.
It was the strangest Planning Meeting I've ever been to where Labour member turned on Labour member and I found myself speaking out in support of... um... Labour members Thomas and Lewis.
Maybe this Cardiff Bay coalition thing is going to my head. I need a lie down...
