The Hawarden Community - Aston, Ewloe, Hawarden & Mancot. Page run by ex Community Cllr Richard Taylor (July 2019 to March 2022). Politics can be a sordid business.

This Page provides some transparency for the majority of Hawarden Community Cllrs that wish to continue to avoid accountability to their residents.

We had this flyer through our letter box recently. Though many have already submitted responses, even more will show the FCC that there is widespread & genuine objection to this build. There now seems to be an extension to the 3rd of May, so nearly 2 weeks left to submit an objection to this threat to our Community!.

𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 – 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

When elected reps break their own rules, is lying to cover this up in any way beneficial to the Community?

When elected reps are shown evidence of bullying, or unethical behaviour, in their own ranks, is ignoring this beneficial to the Community?

When elected reps are asked to conduct their Council business transparently, when they’re asked to openly and honestly poll the residents what their wishes are for their own Community, is it beneficial to the Community for their elected reps to avoid these basic responsibilities?

The answer, unless you’re a politician, is: 𝐧𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐲! But this is the Hawarden Community Council right now: A majority support breaking rules & lying to cover up unethical behaviour, or just ignoring it. A majority of Community Cllrs shy away from rolling their sleeves up and fighting the FCC over such destruction initiatives as the LDP, the most dangerous issue this Community has faced in recent times – they don’t want transparency; they don’t want to be accountable to the residents…

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐨. The HCC’ve been presented plenty of opportunities to do the right thing, and have chosen not to – and they get away with this because of public apathy. We have a vacancy on the Community Council. It can be a very frustrating, sordid, job but if you want this Community to genuinely improve, you can’t just stick your head in the sand and leave it to those who have already proved that they can’t even lie straight in bed… Step up and look to become a Community Councillor!

The Hawarden Community Council needs new blood!

The HCC have promised the Community a Community Plan (a transparent polling of residents’ wishes for their Community, posted publicly and reported on) – Did we get it? Did we hell!

The HCC have promised a review of transparency, a review on recording and posting meetings so any resident, at any time, can observe how they are represented – Did this happen? Of course not!

This Community Council could do so much better: rather than honestly, openly, engaging with their residents, they instead prefer to avoid accountability, to hide their inadequacies – they’ve even gone as far as trying to restrict what little transparency there is!

We cannot afford to wait for the HCC to co opt in a new Cllr who might continue this legacy of ineptitude!

The Community needs someone with some fire in their belly, someone who recognises that without basic honesty and transparency the HCC will accomplish very little of value. Someone who will fight the fights that matter, who will stick their neck out and call out the HCC, and yes the FCC too, for their incompetence; someone that understands that nurturing their community is more important than their own popularity/political career.

Minutes - Virtual Meeting of the Hawarden Community Council - 13th March 2023

A classic example of the majority of Councillor's historic and active avoidance of transparency. Read 179/22 - this was an Item regarding a historic, officially recorded, dishonest vote by the majority of Cllrs, but the approved minutes on this item are full of misinformation and misdirection.

Briefly:
Rather than address the issue of dishonest voting, or even discuss at all as to why a majority of the Cllrs chose to breech a policy on equality of opportunity, the Acting Chair instead chose to vent spleen that a Cllr had dared to ask this question, rather than fall in line with the complicit silent majority.
The minutes also contain references to the Chair "addressing" the issue, and the issue having been referred to the Ombudsman - these are blatant falsehoods - yes this was said by the Acting Chair, but it is not true - the issue is, in fact, is being studiously avoided.

If a house owner catches a burglar, and the police are called, would you expect the police report (or whatever it's called) to be more concerned with:

1) The burglary itself
or
2) The burglar's outrage that the house owner's tone & language was rough..?

A majority of the Community Council voted to break the rules. This is a minuted fact, though many Cllrs might try to convince you otherwise…

You might ask why do a majority of Cllrs think it appropriate to break the rules, rather than change them? They’ve been asked, several times, but they’ve yet to give an answer…

You might also ask why this is a problem? Look at the HCC’s history over the last few years (it’s all in the minutes, and more, though you’ll need to look hard): ignoring direct evidence of bullying, ignoring individual Cllrs breaking the code of conduct and, now, ignoring the rules en masse.. What’s next?

You might ask why is this happening? The answer is a lack of accountability: Our Community Councillors are effectively accountable to nobody but themselves; and trusting a politician to police themself is like trusting a toddler with a pile of sweets in front of them: most of the time they’ll help themselves when no one’s looking… (no offense intended to toddlers).

There are Cllrs who do good things for this Community, nobody denies that; but which is more likely to promote honesty and integrity and therefore ultimately benefit the Community? Defending/ignoring a pattern of Cllrs breaking the rules, or insisting that Cllrs follow the rules and account for their actions?
