Ratting on Gethin

An e-mail from Ioan Richard attacking Labour Councillors is not unusual, however the latest missive is interesting if only for the allegations it contains about Labour Councillor Gethin Evans. What is more it was sent to us by a member of the Labour Group.

In his communication to all Labour Councillors Ioan states that during the "Lliw Valley days" Gethin Evans often went behind the backs of the ruling Labour group to feed information to Swansea's present Deputy Lord Mayor. In particular it is alleged that Gethin put Ioan up to attack Labour Party colleagues over the Bowls Club fiasco at Gorseinon and the Llwchwr Rescue Station.

Ioan continues: "You frequently used to tell me the most scathing things about the Labour Leadership of Lliw Valley Council and also in the early days of this Council you leaked information to me. It only stopped I presume when you considered I lacked much influence to damage Labour on Swansea Council."

We are sure that the Swansea Council Labour Group will not be amused.
