Local Blogger mixes humour with serious commentary

Y Cneifiwr (The shearer) a local blogger has published an amusing candidate tour of Carmarthenshire County Council election Wards. Y Cneifiwr is a seasoned observer of the workings of Carmarthenshire CC and the tour is clearly written from the perspective of someone who thinks there is a need for much new blood in the Council chamber in order to raise standards.

Carmarthenshire Electoral Wards

I know that farmers may need to use these, but having them operating round the clock over several days [including Sunday] and exceeding 4 reports per hour, even contravenes NFU guidelines. This is doing our tourism no good.

Visitors want a decent nights sleep when they go on holiday. If not, are they likely to pay a return visit? Would you?
