Peaceful Protest 11th July 2012



About 60 people of ages from 6 to 86 stood in peaceful representation of proper democratic process and wished only to pass over a letter written to all Llanrwst Town councillors asking why County Council wished to discuss in secret an exchange of contracts by mid August, for the Tesco and Waste transfer development. 





No County Official would speak to the crowd, only 2 Llanrwst town councillors demonstrated their commitment to the people of Llanrwst by coming out to talk. Cllr Alun Jones and Cllr Nelson Haerr, who stated:
"Nothing should be behind closed doors, this makes me feel physically sick, I want to get the dirt in there, let me bring it out."
Cllr Jones stated:
"We will make a statement at the end of the meeting"
Two and a half hours later when the meeting ended, NO statement was forthcoming. Cllr Haerr stated: 
"County will do a press release. I am now confident that Town Councillors are not involved in any behind closed door deal, we {town councillors} do not know anything more now than before we went into this meeting." 
Clearly County officers had tied their hands and gaged them.
