The death of Vicky Clement on Manselton Road was a tragedy but it did not take long for Green Party candidate, Rhodri Griffiths to jump on the bandwagon.At the beginning he undoubtedly helped local residents focus on the need for action in the area and how to achieve that, however by the time he wrote this letter in yesterday's Evening Post, it had become clear that his main motovation was party political advantage.
As Mr. Griffiths knows full well a set of proposals for Manselton Road has been worked up and consulted on. These are on the verge of being implemented. There have been legal processes to go through as well as amendments made as a result of the consultation as Peter Black's letter in the same paper made clear.
However, for Rhodri Griffiths to feign ignorance of this process really takes the biscuit. He has been involved in talks from the start and has been kept informed about progress throughout. A more cynical person might conclude that he is now seeking to use this tragedy for political reasons. We could not possibly comment.
