Letter from Roger Williams MP





A Fulsome Letter from County Councillor E M Jones OBE Executive Leader, Powys County Council to Roger Williams MP for Brecon and Radnorshire

Please see the letter from Cllr Jones to Kirsty Williams AM. in our previous blog; this letter to Mr Williams, our local MP is rather more detailed, but as Mr Williams, comments, "not much help".

As with the letter to Kirsty, several of Mr Jones' comments bear closer examination and questions asked! "Our intended parking reviews should ensure that local restrictions are looked at afresh and continue to be appropriate." Well, "appropriate" is an interesting choice of word, it's an opinion, although not one universally shared!

Mr Jones continues, "As you say, a pilot was prepared for Hay some years ago but unfortunately there was insufficient interest at the time to implement it." I believe that to be an interesting interpretation of the facts!

Anyway, all grist to the mill and a useful prompt for all residents and traders in Powys to make sure that all ideas for appropriate and workable parking policies are ready for the council's consideration in September.
