I AM fed up now - fed up with the thousands of police on just about every street corner and motorway bridge. They`ll be gone by Saturday morning! Fed up with the constant drone of helicopters over my house, with the road closures because of the demonstrations, with the prospect of what is to come in the way of delays and closures on Thursday and Friday. Fed up with seeing the millions of pounds which is being spent to secure the area. I am also fed up with hearing how the local area will benefit from the Nato summit. So far, shops have had to close, buses have lost money because the city centre has been closed, and onThursday and Friday parents will have to stay off work to look after their children who should be in school. Will any of these people be compensated? Will any of the world leaders come on their holidays to South East Wales? You must be joking. Will any of the hangers on come back to Wales? I doubt that. This conference should have been held at The Vale of Glamorgan, nearer the airport, probably easier to secure and nearer to Cardiff. They can have it. Let’s hope this is the last of the great ideas for the Celtic Manor hotel around here. We are sick and tired of the disruption.
