Don't Hold Your Breath!
But over the last week, a lot's been going on - albeit much behind the scenes!
Last week, Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe, Ward Councillor for Hay-on-Wye accompanied by representatives from Hay-on-Wye Town Council and Hay Chamber of Trade met at Llandrindod Wells with Jeremy Patterson Chief Executive of Powys County Council, hoping to get some action on our parking and traffic proposals before the council 'shuts down' for the May 3rd council elections.
As a result of that meeting, Cllr Ratcliffe, this time accompanied by Bob Golesworthy a Hay Town Councillor, today (Tuesday 13th March) had a meeting with Steve Holdaway, Powys Senior Director of Highways. It seems that for some reason Messrs Patterson and Holdaway had not been kept fully informed of our proposals and all that has been happening over recent months!
We've wasted so much time trying to get some action from Councillor Geraint Hopkins, Powys County Council Cabinet Member and Portfolio Holder for traffic and parking (any sign of life would help!) that we hope these approaches to officers who after all, do not have to face re-election in May, will at last elicit some action.
We live in hope, and will of course keep you informed!
