I AGREE with Cllr Matthew Evans in his disappointment at not being involved in the visit of President Obama. Further, I am outraged.

I find it difficult to believe, as the jobsworth hired help from the civic centre stated, the selection was made by 10, Downing Street, implying that Newport council was not first consulted.

Also, which petty-minded council official removed the tweet of Cllr Evans and who first requested the removal?
