WHY HAVE the people of Newport tolerated the morons that run our council? If I were a member I would go to great lengths to let no-one know that I was. They are total idiots without a modicum of common sense.

Please put someone like Ian Johnston in charge. He has done an excellent job as PCC, he’s stuck to his beliefs and got the job done after years of inertia by his previous colleagues. I admire Mr Johnston and think he would do a better job than some of the twits in power now.
