VIRTUALLY day in and day out, week in and week out, for months now, the letters page sees current and former Caerphilly Councillors blaming each other, for the unholy and unsavoury mess they have got themselves into. Quite frankly they are all a complete disgrace.

To have allowed the senior management to have given themselves obscene salary increases, when ordinary workers and the unemployed, are facing some of the toughest financial difficulties this country has ever seen, shows why the decent people of the UK are completely sick and tired of the politicians in this country at every level.

Caerphilly council is a prime example of the management of the public sector being totally out of control. One thing they have all forgotten is that they are paid from the public of this country, via rates, rent, and taxes etc. They are supposedly there to serve the residents of Caerphilly, to the best of their ability. In the past it was considered an honour to serve your local council. In Caerphilly as with many other councils, they have quite clearly proven this no longer applies. Greed and egos have taken over. I say to you, Caerphilly councillors, stop airing your dirty washing in the Argus. All of you get out of the way and let’s get some credibility back into the area, starting with all of you resigning with immediate effect. I very much doubt the residents of Caerphilly would notice you moving on.
