He clearly cares little for the communities he should support. It is no wonder the conservative party want little to do with him. I am galled as a lifelong tory that this man is in anyway affiliated to the party I support.Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03537099653178379171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755834342571488774.post-65739715988317603462011-01-05T19:46:47.208+00:002011-01-05T19:46:47.208+00:00I was never troubled by rodents until this man cha...I was never troubled by rodents until this man championed,and in my opinion pushed us into a two week refuse collection. He is full of his own importance, and obviously trying to use Bracknell Forest Council as a 'step up to higher things', but I'm afraid that he doesn't have the correct personna, or talent. The Bracknell electorate are wise to him, and will not forget that he is permanently labelled as 'the Tory who forced the Labour Party's 2 week refuse collection on Bracknell'. He can look forward to years in the wilderness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755834342571488774.post-12110453549406247532009-10-21T19:41:55.784+01:002009-10-21T19:41:55.784+01:00Bettison is the Beeching of his day - in 40 years ...Bettison is the Beeching of his day - in 40 years time when the nation come to look back at the disaster that is the Alternate Bin Collecting, it will be Councillor Bettison to shoulder the blame; in much the way we bemoan the loss of railways we will bemoan the lose of our streets to nasty plastic boxes!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389851860039492683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755834342571488774.post-36159337292699455582009-09-29T18:04:48.317+01:002009-09-29T18:04:48.317+01:00I get the feeling Mr Bettison is not Popular with ...I get the feeling Mr Bettison is not Popular with my blog readers.

Whatever, Bracknell won't be a Tory safe seat after the general election. The next MP for Bracknell will be the UKIP man because Bracknell are fed up with the so-called Tory BFC councillors being lackeys to NuLiebour. BFC Tories have always enthusiastically implemented the socialists policies. Just a bit more visible reticance to and less enthusiasm for the government's demands and they would have a lot more credibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755834342571488774.post-87238081677580748112009-09-26T22:26:06.976+01:002009-09-26T22:26:06.976+01:00I would not want the currenty council leader to ru...I would not want the currenty council leader to run for the job anyway.

His petulent comments in the local press sounded like a pouting boy taking his ball back because he wasn't chosen as team captain. Mr Bettison may have been included in the conservative party broadcasts at the last general election but obviously there is some no-no now. He would be a disaster as MP for Bracknell but as the other conservative councillors on BFBC have followed him slavishly for many years how come they don't at least let him be on the short list. If the local party don't think him fit to be on the parliamentary shortlist what are his ward voters not being told?oldbiddynoreply@blogger.com
