Tonight i attended an extraordinary meeting of the Council called for by the Labour Group in order to ask Members of the council whether they would vote to reconsider a decision made by the lib-dem / independant run Exec Board to close Llys Madoc home.
After much debate mainly from my fellow Labour councillors, all councillors were asked to vote. All labour members voted to reconsider the decisision and the rulling Lib-Dem Independant alliance group voted against. Thus Llys Madoc care home is to close in March 2007.
My views on this are straight, i do not belive in the privatization of our care homes , but in a mixed provision of both public and private care, thus giving people a real choice. The rulling Lib-Dem group say there is no money to run these homes but in their budget which was classed by the leader Aled Roberts as being both 'Wonderfull & Exciting' They put two million pounds of Council Tax money into council balances, as well as spending £25.000 on a minority welsh festival at a failing theatre called the Stiwt.
The Lib-Dems as ussual know the cost of everything and the value of nothing!!
