Llanddeusant Community Council - Bleating Where Action is Needed.

Good old Anglesey councillors!

This time, poor old Melin Llynnon - Wales' last working windmill and a vital tourist attraction - is up for grabs.  Anglesey Council simply can't make it pay, so off it goes.  It could even be sold privately.

No more cash to fill the sails...  (Image(C) this blog)

Now, it was quite a long time ago that Anglesey Council invited interested parties to submit their ideas for ways of keeping several sites across the island open, whilst taking them off the accounts.  Everybody had heard of the plans.  They were in the papers, online, people talking about them in the street.

Everybody, that is, apart from Llanddeusant Community Council, who have complained in the last few days that they would have found it "nice" had Llangefni contact them "directly."

It won't do, apparently, for Llanddeusant Community Council to be included, by definition, in Anglesey Council's invitation to "any interested party" to come forward.   Maybe this newfangled democracy stuff isn't to their liking?

That's right, not only are they so slow as to apparently not be like everybody else in knowing about the Great Sell-Off, they want it done in a way that pleases them!  I know the average age of Anglesey councillors is very high, but, come on!

I note that Llanddeusant doesn't mention any good ideas that it might have of its own.  It simply seems content to be moaning about protocol. 

But there you go, that's Anglesey for you.  How very useful!
