2013

Politics in Featherstone without back stabbing, there is only one way that will happen and it doesn’t take much of a guess to work it out.
Let’s take a look at 2013 so far on day one. Hundreds of thousands of pounds from new developments that should be spent in Featherstone but are due not to be spent local because a certain party line needs the funds for other towns.
A local council that according to its own minutes has gone back to back room meetings.
A local and district council that have agreed to not invite groups to meetings for the last year as they can not be allowed to gain information or actual be seen to continue doing good.

And let’s not forget if you do open your gob to help without the correct rosette you will probably climb the political hate campaign list and could fall victim to abusive comments in meetings and receive public insults. Suppose it then depends on how much you love your family or Featherstone?

There are plenty of ideas to share. There is always another angle. Why not use the hate campaign? Who needs Cllrs? Cllrs will toe the line of a good idea that WMDC officers agree with. Believe it or not there are some good officers (employees) that know what goes on and will and do help. What should we expect district Cllrs to do with £30k wages each plus £30k to spend on Featherstone. This year the accounts show low spending after the district council did not chip in for the full Christmas lights. Perhaps as a start this un-used cash could be a fund for next year. That would be easy but admit guilt, shame.

I respect your efforts Forkhandles but let’s “keep it real”. Not so many weeks ago you commented on the Christmas light which hunt before knowing all or any of the facts. You have your friends and Featherstone has its own.

Best thing for Featherstone in 2013 is help all the new voices that have taken their blinkers off.
