Now we are able to see what the councillors do for us once voted in nothing changes.
These people voted and paid for buy us haven't even the courtesy to publicly inform us of there actions even on a local forum a platform for them to demonstrate there worth.
Disgraceful

Councillors Why are you allowing our town to be dismantled and taken to Ebbw Vale ????????
If you want to let Ebbw Vale have any of our town WHY not give them all the antisocial behaviour that's going on here.
Not expecting a reply from them mind as there safe for another 4years and busy filling in there expense sheets.

Dont know if anyone else saw it on tv but Blaenau Gwent is officially the second most improved area in Wales for street cleanliness. Well done everyone concerned. Lets hope the new council keeps up the momentum. Regards, TG

With reference to the above comment I feel a rubbish coming on or just maybe they didn't visit our street with the empty drink cans, bottles and take aways.
WHY are the bin men not being fined for all the litter they drop and leave behind every week?????? Fine a pensioner for dropping a sweet wrapper but not a bin man for not picking up half the contents of a split bin bag that was probably caused by the way they throw them about.
Why are the councillors pressuring the police to stop these kids from using the public highways as there personal race track with these noisy off road bikes. They must have a good idea who this kids are and where they live.

| children = no benefits to dock and no paid income (work) to hand fines to. Therefore low to extremeley low priority, police are now fine deliverance, regulation and enforcement officers. Thats why all police forces are corporations and listed with companies house, and as such have to be run as one. |

Maybe you pay them an xmas bonus then us poor people cant afford to, so I guess they pay us back the rest of the year.
They throw the bags out into the road in a big pile and pick them up on the way through and the ones that get split leave the mess on the floor.

Something like Hello you nice little boy its so good of you to take the time to kick hell out of my back gate and break it but would you be so kind as not to do it any more as I really am rather fed up of repairing it, than you so much. O yes I'm sure that would get a reaction. Some how its just doesn't work like that in the real world.
O and yes If anyone dose do me a favor that get a thank you and If I ask I always say please even to the G.O.L.
Wonder if the bin men would stop throwing bags in the road if they were asked??????? some how I think one would get told to go forth and multiply.

As for ASB as you can see the councillors take little to no notice (mind they have the same problem on there own door step and cant get anything done) as for the police no point in reporting it any more there not interested wont turn up ASB number 1000+ on there charts of action.
Now as for the bin men its not the securing of bags it the poor quality of the bags not being able to be thrown about there inclined to split when meeting the road surface at speed.
Have a nice dump sailor.

Here is a plea to ALL the councillors to take action.
Will they please put pressure on our non existent police service to deal with and stop these kids on there mini and std size off road bikes from using the public roads of Tredegar as a race/test track before some poor dog,cat or person gets killed.
The[ police are not listening to the people so maybe pressure kept on them by the councillors might just start some action.
(its NOT just me that's sick of them, others are considering taking matters into there own hands to deal with the problem)

Santa would be a better bet as the police and councillors are little better than a chocolate fireguard.

Well isn't it just wonderful the way the councillors interact with the people that voted for them.
I know at least one of the dose put himself out to help people and I wont embarrass him by name but in this digital age and the political age of clear transparency (yea right) public figures should be making an effort to interact with the people they are supposably representing.

| As you've said before GOM they'll all go to ground until the next election. They all talk "open democracy" and hold "public consultation exercises", but in my experience the real decisions will always be made behind closed doors ,and in the interests of a few. |

Just why are we paying for these councillors? and police service???????
Why are we not seeing things being taken care of? I know its the same old story from me and yes I would love to turn the record over but how can I/we when the same old problems are still going on daily.
It isn't rocket science to stop these kids on off road bikes using the public roads, nor is it to stop illegal parking (they done even have to chase them) most of the drunks and druggies are to stoned to even step out of the way of an on coming police person, if that is we had any on our streets.
Why are the councillors putting pressure on the police service to deal with these and many other problems?
Tredegar is probably no worse than many other towns and better than a lot BUT that is NO reason to allow this ASB to continue day after day year after year lets have OUR Town clean up and become a town we can be proud of a town and worth being the most expensive in wales.

Councillors have you seen the remarks yet again about the police service???
WHY is nothing being seen to be done about there lack of serviceability to the public?
Why is this anti social behaviour being aloud to get out of hand?
People are getting afraid to go out into the streets (inc me us) gone are the days when it was good to pop out in the evening for some fish and chips as most of the chippies have yobs hanging around them, just remember its the chippie that loosing custom from people like us.
Please can the good people hve there streets back and feel safe.

bring in a 7pm to 7am curfew on all under 16's (unless with a family member over 18) in town centre boundary, they dont spend money in town so no loss to businesses. Start handing out fines to the families, see how long little johnny hangs around town with a £30 fine to go home with. Most of the kids are sent out because the parents cant deal with them at home. As usual local councillors get in with a bag full of promises, and we end up with another seat warmer for a few years. Too afraid or out of their depth to do anything, let them take a walk through tredegar after 8 on a school night and see the real side of life here. When you bring up the subject of asb in town its ''its down to the police if a criminal act occurs''. The kids today know the law better than I did 30 years ago, they know what they can get away with and
Just about stay within it. Or if they do get caught doing something they should'nt they know theres no consequences. Just a trip home in a police car, or at worse their parents have to make the effort to pick them up from the station (until its gone). If somethings not done soon we'll lose our town to them, some of these councillors need to strap on a pair and take on the challenge. Thats what it is a challenge, but it's too easy to ignore it and focus on little things. Because the councillors live local they dont want to 'cause problems within' or 'be remembered for failing'. Maybe we should for a trial have councillors not residing within the area, that way they can look at it more as a 'position of responsibility' rather than 'a few years of the odd meeting or two' that we seem to have now. Couldnt be worse surely? |

Why is it that these councilors have NO interest in posting on the local town web site forum telling us how wonderful they have been and what wondrous thins they have done for the town.
Speaking from what I see some things that should have been dealt with still are being ignored and WHY do they not follow up these problems to make sure that they are seen to, rather than just leaving to the people that should have dealt with it but have no interest or desire to do so.
I agree that they must be helping some people but sadly the majority of the towns people have no idea what they have done.

You can bet that these councillors will be making themselves know again when voting comes around.
Strange how they seem to hibernate the rest of the time or just spend time going from meeting to meeting just like monopoly collecting every time they pass go.
