ALL hail the new Newport Independents Party. More power to their elbow, say I.
It’s about time for some serious competition to stick it to the smugly complacent status quo of the council chamber. As an inhabitant of Malpas, I am pleased to see one of their candidates will be standing for my ward.
However, I take issue with Mr Craig’s suggestion that currently Conservative held areas should be bypassed as suitable recruiting targets. Believe me, there are plenty of us out there who are sick up to the back teeth with the bickering, spin and in-fighting of party-politically motivated local government. Raise the red and black flags comrades and pass the ammunition.
