Dodgy Bute Park Judges.


Suspiciously chummy correspondence between council and judges. If that’s

independent judging, I’m a banana!


What do you think of this?
I cannot understand this. Why judges for a park award should be kept secret?
Cover up so there must be something to hide ?
And accusing protester's of misinformation is appalling, the
judges should have arranged to
meet them and not excepted that
as true. Judges told ...Protesters "refused to listen to what we have told them"!
And the judges
asking for advice...!!!

One of the judges says "having a wobble about whether of not to
enter the fray! I would be grateful if you could give me a bit of a
steer about how delicate the situation is or not.. as i don't want
to get embroiled in a political muddle. Is this a big issue for you
and your team?
I like a challenge but would appreciate a heads up so I can
make a more informed decision about whether to come to Bute
or not. Are we likely to be lobbied on the day? A girl needs to know.

Any help or advice advice you can offer will be much appreciated."

so the judges are Wined and dined by the parks department and come up with goods..

Cardiff council GAG
Note they Cardiff council are telling me we have to keep qiuiet about this and talk of copywright
which is beyond my comprehensions.
