In response to the latest episode of Councillor Marion Couchman’s political pirouettes, Councillor Jan Wadrup swooped in with a masterstroke—posing the age-old question on Facebook,
‘Should we reopen the front desk of Marmion House?’
A bold move, especially considering Wadrup has been juggling not one, but two Facebook profiles—her personal account and an ‘unofficial official’ one imaginatively titled ‘Councillor Jan Wadrup.’
A politician with two faces? Shocking, we know. – Asking the same questions repeatedly, so she can choose the answers that best suit the agenda.
Appears to be following the patterns of Paul Brina Brindley, It seems that Paul Brina Brindley is using multiple profiles to create the impression of independent responses that support or acknowledge his posts. However, all of these profiles are actually owned by him.
Spotted Tamworth Tamworth Voice, a group called ‘Tamworth’ and Paul Brindley BEM Independent Voice for Tamworth. Amongst others not Tamworth related.
Of course, our readers will recall from the earlier exposé, ‘Tamworth Councillors: Serving the People or Serving Themselves?’ that Wadrup, elected under Labour’s banner, had a dramatic moment of disillusionment and promptly tossed her toys out of the pram at the first sign of difficulty.
Check out Councillor Jan Wadrup – scroll down and take a look at the constituency interactions over time, as we couldn’t find any.
So, what are the predictions for the future?
Will Wadrup return to Labour before the next election to secure votes, or will she stand by her decision and run as an independent, allowing local democracy to take its course?
Or will she simply give up and not stand again?
Answers to the mailbag?
In the short term view – The reopening of Marmion House could be seen as a response to local demand, rather than an act of arrogance or waste. Labour councillors may have prioritised public accessibility, especially for those who find it difficult to access services at the Town Hall, such as the elderly or disabled, including Councillor Marion Couchman.
However, what is the long-term plan – total utilisation of the building?
Whatever happened to the idea of turning the bingo hall next to the nightclub into useful publicly accessible buildings?
Why did leaders continue with further regeneration in the town centre without first resolving the Precinct disaster?
Earlier this week, construction company ISG collapsed again, seemingly history repeating itself to the ongoing bulldozing of the Precinct and its replacement with a car park, a project that has been dragging on for the past 16 years.
Is the long-term plan to have construction projects fail repeatedly so that the whole town centre can become one big car park?
