I’m afraid I haven’t. I ran into a brick wall because the ‘Welsh’ Government and other bodies seem unconcerned that housing associations are leasing properties from offshore companies, which was the focus of my enquiry.

post script to the above – I see that there’s a petition doing the rounds calling on M’Lord to stand down and compete at a bi-election for his Assembly seat.

Fine idea but full of down sides –
1. he wins,so no end to his carping about being man of the people
2. Plaid substitute wins – we get Leanne endlessly spouting her (new) mantra about being the “Real Plaid”
3.Labour win it ! or even Tories or UKIP – total disaster sets the local community back about 50+ years.

So for now I’d say leave the old twat in situ. He’s no more daft than most of the rest of Plaid and in all probability any replacement would be just as useless, just younger. Now if they could get Elfyn Llwyd or Daf Wigley to run against him you might get a high turn out and a worthy outcome but anything else is just an exercise in electoral fantasy.

Phil Bale obviously won’t be a happy bunny until Cardiff sucks up the entire funding budget for Wales. Well, mate, we don’t buy trickle down theories of economic development and wealth creation especially at those miserly rates funds flow from Kairdiff into other parts of Wales – so go fuck yourself useless piece of shit. Time other coucil politicians in S.E Wales turned on this twat and sunk him, permanently.

Finally your old pal Lord DET has chucked his toys out of his pram ( again ) and fallen out of Plaid and out of love with your favourite repetitive moaning girl. Shame that the two of them didn’t piss off together taking their gaggle of advisers and what passes for policy creators with them. There’s a spare island or 2 out in the Channel or further out to a new Wladfa on the Falklands/Malvinas or Sth Georgia would be just nice.

Garngoch – if local council can’t be bothered then maybe it’s time to call locals to arms – grass cutting, weeding, general tidy up – followed by a glass or 3 could make a nice afternoon out in the sun or the drizzle. How often does he need to go ? I could go for that it’s only about 25 mile down the road and I’m sure there’s some guys who could do with the exercise living nearer. put out the call, count me in

Not just Jews and Muslims. I understand that Christian Fundamentalists of the ‘Rapture’ variety believe the Temple must be re-built as a prelude to the Second Coming, or Armageddon (however you wish to interpret it). Which indeed it might, because to re-build the Temple the very important mosque now on the Mount would have to be demolished.

I further understand that there are a number of these believers in the ‘Rapture’ based in Israel trying to persuade the Israel authorities to get cracking.

Given that the UN is supposed to bring peace and goodwill, and ergo order, how on earth do they think this kind of nonsense and empty posturing is going to move the world forward ?

Univ of West of England, previously Bristol Poly, was highly regarded institution for training Chartered Surveyors RICS/CIOB. Lots of aspiring “property professionals” passed through this location especially those who didn’t quite muster the grades for Reading Uni or Land Economy at Cambridge ( the latter notorious for converting post grad rugby players from redbricks into Blues in pre pro rugby era ). Used to be mainly Poly dominated, but since every man and his dog was given licence to become a Uni about 40 offer related full and/or part time degrees in UK

I wouldn’t assume that Davies lives in Swansea. Linkedin seems to locate people in the nearest large town or city.

Though I was interested to read that he’d studied at the University of the West of England. It rang a bell . . . and then I remembered that Nick Garrod of Mill Bay Homes down in Pembrokeshire also studied there. As did his mate, Adam Karl Uka, who got the bespoke house and a Help to Buy mortgage.

A coincidence, I suppose, unless there are others with the same alma mater running Welsh housing associations.

Yes.
With the new name to Trivallis came a new CEO, Paul Davies.

He’s formally CEO of Cheltenham Borough Homes before which he was Housing Manage for Cheltenham Borough Council.

He spent four years, 2012 to 2016 as Director of Housing Squared Ltd, a small housing sector asset management consultancy outfit. It should be noted that Housing Squared was founded by himself in 2012, and it’s registered office moved about a bit…..

Based at Ledbury in 2012, (Worcestershire)
moved to Reigate in 2013, (Surrey)
moved to Ledbury in 2014 (Worcestershire)
moved to Kilgetty 2015 (Pembrokeshire)
moved to Upton-upon-Severn. (Worcestershire).

Paul was director of this consultancy business throughout, but was also concurrent director of property and assets for Tai Calon Community Housing in Blaenau Gwent.

He evidently has plans for the social housing stock in RCT.

His Linkedin profile appears to show him also changing to using his middle name (Paul) during his visit to Pembrokeshire, from is christian name registered at companies house (David), and now lives happily in Swansea. Either that, or he lied on Linkedin and to Trivallis/RCT Homes.

Curious.
