I just signed this petition. Reinstate Cris Tomos as a Cardigan Castle Director – Are the board members fit to govern the castle? http://ipt.io/aibvw via @ipetitions

In reply to YBarddCwsc.

It might be reassuring to put this down to incompetence . . . were it not Carmarthenshire council involved. And then there’s the wider question of why documents of national importance were ever left in the care of a local council, to be housed in an inadequate building. Leading to the question of who – if anyone – has the power to insist on important documents being handed over to the National Library?

Gareth ‘Clettwr’ Lloyd is a County Councillor, Ceredigion County Council’s representative on the CADWGAN board of Trustees. Ceredigion County Council should know exactly what’s going on in the castle.
Brian Thomas ex director of environmental services and planning Ceredigion County Council, he has also been involved with the board of trustees from the beginning (another so called Welshman)

Jac has his hands full investigating the numerous failings and illegalities of public bodies in Wales ?

(And, incidentally, you are performing a wonderful public service in shining the spotlight into these very murky corners).

So, I feel a bit hesitant in raising another matter — but the historian J.D. Davies has recently been blogging about the fate of manuscripts in the Carmarthenshire Record Office

This seems to be more incompetence of the Council than deliberate corruption, but it is yet another example of how Welsh heritage & history is being thrown away.

No I don’t either see it happening the other side of Offa’s dyke. But that is to their credit. And that it’s allowed to happen here is to the shame of so called Welsh people such as those named by anon a few posts back. But I doubt they’ll ever view it that way.

This is not about the English Welsh relationship, it’s about the mess Cardigan Castle is in

In reply to Anonymous. Well my apologies for my part in that anonymous. You are right in that the castle farce is not an English/Welsh divide but a complete and utter disregard for Welsh heritage along with what appears to be a huge misuse of money invested in that Welsh heritage. It does seem that the trustees get rid of anyone who seems hell bent on doing the right thing and not line their own pockets, or at least that's my take on it. It seems to me that if there has been any wrong doing here that the police should be involved and anyone who looks like they have been involved in corruption should be investigated and help to account irrespective of their nationality. Getting angry again but what would be the chances of some English castle with the historical importance akin to Cardigan/ Aberteifi being registered by some Saudi sheik and converted into a wedding venue for Moonies? Could that or would that be allowed to happen the other side of the dyke?
