Chair was Labour so casting vote went to the Labour guy. I think this is a timely reminder of consequences of our actions i.e. if you write letters to the press criticising the Chair of Caia Park Community Council, then don't expect her casting vote for co option onto the same Community Council!!Plaid Gwersyllthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986006252463873835noreply@blogger.com
