A sad day.

     Not just for Linda Ware, but for us all?

As anyone can see, this leaves the residents of Cwrt Herbert and Neath Abbey, or anyone else wishing to make use of this crossing for that matter. In an intolerable position. Ok, you can always say that they can cross the road further down by the council depot? Just try it. To do that means you take your life into your own hands, by trying to dodge the traffic that is using the road. Hell would freeze over before any of them drivers would give way to you to cross the road.

________________________________________________________

 

Now for those people who wish or attempt to walk into Neath town by way of the road passing opposite of Cwrt Herbert playing fields. It is the same story. It is impossible to get through the water which floods the Pelican Crossing outside C.E.M. Days garage on the other side of the roundabout. (Again see the below pictures).  

 

    

 

 

I wonder how much the council charge C.E.M. Days for council tax and business tax?

 

I wouldn't mind betting that it is a small fortune and for that amount, they still expect them to put up with situations like this. See picture below where the flood water is forcing upwards underneath the rear wheels of the grey car.

 

.

What a cheek?

 

 

While we are on the subject of cheek!!

 

As you can see by the pictures of the flooding in the both the areas, of how difficult it would be for anyone to get to do any shopping in town or Tesco's stores or to even get out of Neath Abbey on foot. (Even throughout the flooding). Every morning if you look closely.   You can see our famous council leader Cllr Ali (BaBa) Thomas being picked up in his chauffeur driven limo (at the council tax payers expense of course) and being driven straight through the flooding to spend his day doing whatever it is he does at the council offices?  Certainly without a though or a care in the world of how other people manage to get through the water. Or what he or the council could do to alleviate the problems this flooding causes? 

 

Vote Labour? Like hell. Not when they have such a bungling and un-caring labour led council that has directors and deputy directors of road/traffic departments such as we have in NEATH. After seeing the mess they leave us in when it rains. I can come to no other conclusion, other than. It would appear that the Neath Port Talbot County Borough council and its leaders/senior management must be socially bankrupt (If not financially bankrupt) to say the least? For not even attempting to try to sort out this severe problem of flooding?

Every time it rains, it rains? But it's not pennies from heaven. It's flooding in Neath Abbey! It has done for years and what has our caring and sharing council (as they have the cheek to call themselves) done about it? Sweet Fanny Adams.

 

There are quite a lot of elderly and disabled people living in the Stratton Way area of N. Abbey and most of them find it convenient to do their shopping in Tesco's stores. But when the double Pelican crossing outside the Tesco store on the main road starts to flood. It is impossible for anyone to cross the road whether they are fit or disabled. They would get drowned from the water thrown up by the traffic going through the floodwater that holds directly on the crossing). The water is so deep that the traffic has to divert to the other side of the road to get through. (See the photos below).

 There are quite a lot of elderly and disabled people living in the Stratton Way area of Neath Abbey and most of them find it convenient to do their shopping in Tesco's stores.

 When the Pelican crossing on the main road outside Tesco's store gets flooded. It's impossible for anyone to cross the road whether they are fit or disabled. They would get absolutely drenched from the water thrown up by the traffic going through the floodwater that holds directly on the crossing). The water is sometimes so deep, that the traffic has to divert to the other side of the road to get through.

To do so means, you take your life into your own hands by trying to dodge the traffic that is using the main road. Hell would freeze over before any one of them drivers would give way to enable a person to cross to the other side of the road.

 Now for those people who wish to or want to walk into Neath town by way of the main road passing alongside of the Cwrt Herbert playing fields. It is the same story.  It is impossible to get through the water which floods the other Pelican Crossing which is outside of CEM Days garage on the other side of the roundabout.

 (Again see the below pictures).

 

   

 

 

 

I wonder how much the council charge CEM Days for council tax and business rates?

 

I wouldn't mind betting that it is a small fortune and for that amount, they still expect them to put up with situations like this. See the picture below where the flood water is forcing upwards underneath the rear wheels of the grey car.

You can see by the pictures of the flooding in the both the areas, how difficult it would be for anyone to get to do any shopping in town or Tesco's stores or to even get out of Neath Abbey on foot.

Every morning, if you look closely.  You will be able see our famous council leader Cllr Ali (BaBa) Thomas being picked up in his chauffeur driven limo (At the council tax payers expense of course) and being driven straight through the flooding to spend his day doing whatever it is  a council leader does at the council offices? (Which I suspect is not a lot?).  Certainly without a thought or a care in the world of how other people manage to get through the water.  Or what he and/or the council could do to alleviate the problems this flooding causes? 

 Vote Labour???  Like hell. Not when they have such a bungling and un-caring labour led council that has directors and deputy directors of road/traffic departments such as we have in NEATH.  After seeing the mess they just leave us to get on with when it rains and floods.

I can come to no other conclusion, other than it would appear that the Neath Port Talbot County Borough council and its leader and senior management must be socially bankrupt, if not financially bankrupt to say the least? Why? For not even attempting to try to sort out this severe problem of flooding and leaving the council tax payer's to suffer again?

They may not  have the brains to sort it out.  I do not know?

 But Ali (BaBa) Thomas and his Labour led council's attitude to all this appears to be.

 

Screw them.

 I'm alright Jack?

IF AN A.S.B.O. IS NEEDED?

IT SHOULD BE SERVED ON THE NEW LABOUR LED NEATH PORT TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL. 

 I have a good mind to sue the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council for injuries to my ribs?  I have not enjoyed such comedy since Ali (BaBa) Thomas was elected as leader to the council!

I honestly thought that I was reading a delayed April fools joke until I realised that I was reading about the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. Knowing that nothing was too stupid for them to try to do?

 I was reading the article in a national newspaper, wherein M/s Linda Ware of Cilfrew, Neath had allegedly been threatened by officers of the N.P.T.C.B.C. The term housing ranger was used I believe?  I wonder if they carried six guns, wearing cowboy hats and a black eye mask, rode a white horse and shouted Hi Ho Silver??? All to tell her off for growing a Tomato plant in the communal area of the flat in which she is a resident?

Somehow, I do not believe that she received the threat or warning for the reasons stated in the paper. But it would not take a lot to persuade me that the threat was, in a roundabout way, for being part of the "Vote NO" committee who has taken on the commendable work of helping other council tenants to understand what is involved in the council's hand over of their housing stock to a private housing company and exposing what is contained in the small print. The small print the council is so desperate to hide from their tenants and spending in excess of £5,000,000 million pounds of the public's money to do it. I  wonder why?

Ali (Ba Ba) Thomas (Leader) is doing his utmost to make sure that this hand over takes place by any means and it would seem, is not afraid to use any method to do it. Including using the council's employees to do this dirty work!!

 It would appear that the LONE, Sorry, I mean housing rangers cannot find the time to attend meetings of importance where their attention is urgently needed. But they can find the time (or maybe they are instructed) to go and bully a poor pensioner lady who's only interests are to live in a green environment, by wanting to grow a tomato plant and recycle all her house hold waste.

Robert Rees who is head of Housing and Public Protection department. Seems to have been contacted by a resident of the same building that Linda lives in with a complaint that Linda's tomato plant was affecting his or her Asthma? I wonder if the complainant is a member of the New Labour Party in Neath as well?

 It is such a shame that Robert Rees's housing department has had to break it's age old record? Because up until the time that this so called complaint went in. Any tenant who had previously made a complaint. Had to repeat their same complaint 4 or 5 times until was seen to be looked into? But on this occasion, it would appear to have been acted upon straight away. Again, I wonder why???

 Linda, my advice to you is. Stick to your guns and do not let these seemingly  immoral, un-educated bullies have their way. Whether it is over the housing stock or your tomatoes. You are better than they are, by a long, long way.

 A message to the N.P.T.C.B.Council off DAI DUST.

 To the leader and all departmental heads. You have on this occasion shown the people of Neath and the Valleys of what you are all capable of doing, just to get your way. You disgust the people and disgrace your selves.

 IF BRAINS WERE DYNAMITE? YOU LOT WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO BLOW YOUR NOSES.
