'No company will invest in Kidwelly due to nimbys'

“All of you are as usual misinformed. I am one of the founding directors of the Kidwelly Heritage Trust and I asked Robin Cammish to Chair the trust. It is not a private company set up to develop and sell real estate but a not-for-profit organisation to restore Kidwlly's old and un-used public buildings. The Trust has the full backing of Kidwelly Town Council but the Council could never run an organisation such as The Trust, as they could never agree on the right direction to take. I suggest you people ascertain the facts before passing comment. I for one will willingly do so.”

“*** is nimbysm???? DAFUQ”

“The Kidwelly Heritage Trust Ltd you say…….one wonders what's behind this? Mr. Cammish is the self appointed Chairman and is seeking grant funding to restore key buildings in Kidwelly.
(and I quote, is going to sort out Kidwelly's heritage, perhaps he'll restore the castle)
Anyway, Is this private enterprise or not? Mr. Cammish says that "if its right and proper" , "he will invest in it" ! What does he mean by right and proper, he's the Chairman isn't he??
I'm all for improving Kidwelly town centre and restoring buildings, however it should be an open and transparent community group led by the Town Council and not cammish.plc.com.
Who and what is Kidwelly Heritage Trust Ltd anyway, what will they do with the grant money, especially if Mr. Cammish invests as he'll no doubt need a return being an international businessman. (Perhaps he'll invest after the grant has been awarded??) As Mr. Cammish is a former property developer, I'm sure he'll know what to do.……I won't be investing though.”

“Turn Kidwelly into Port Talbot!! no disrespect to Port Talbot but you are talking rubbish and actually sound just like a Nimby. There has never been any threat to industrialising the Gwendraeth Valley, this is how the false perceptions of the area start, you must be believing the false, hysterical, overzealous, inaccurate rhetorical information disseminated by those secret people that are the "protectors of this area" - the activist group headed up by Director Mr. Cammish. Jobs and economic prosperity is just as important as protecting a sustainable environment; One goes before the other. Anyway, when DisneyLand comes to Kidwelly, it'll all be sorted (Unless Cammish objects to the increase in traffic!)”

“I tell you what, how would we stop exporting electricity, and.......who's "they"?"
--------------------
"They" are the English, as you referenced in your original post.

In case you are genuinely too thick to comprehend, I was pointing out that whilst we may be a net exporter of electricity over the border we are a far bigger net importer of many other commodities, including tax funding.”

“It's all very well calling people names but I'm not from the area so I can be called a nimby yet personally I don't buy into this notion that those individuals who stand to make vast sums of personal wealth from trying to turn a quiet, picturesque rural retreat such as Kidwelly into an industrial town like Port Talbot are doing so for altruistic reasons (in that it supposedly creates jobs for locals in the area), so call me a cynic instead if you will...”

“This is the same Mr Cammish that was a director of that stupendous success the Kidwelly E Book festival along with Mr Ruck
Some of his past companies have interesting histories. Hacer Consulting had a turnover of £14,107,000 when he took over in 2002 and this reduced to £34,000 in 2006. The same company had net assets of minus £899,000 which increased to £6,521,000 in 2005 and then ended up as minus £18,643,595 in 2007. Qpb Ltd had a turnover of £69,861 when he joined in 2009 which reduced to £63,244 a year later. Net assets were £413 in 2009 and minus £3,757 in 2011.
Mr Cammish first became a director about 17 years ago since then he appears to have been a director in 28 companies, 21 of these have been dissolved and 7 are still in existence. One of them is the Kidwelly Heritage Trust Ltd, which sounds all warm and cosy but is in fact a business.
I'm just trying to figure out why this man thinks himself more capable than Mr James.”

I tell you what, how would we stop exporting electricity, and.......who's "they"?”

“He doesn't really care about tourism. They guy has his comfortable life, his big house all paid off and doesn't want anything to disturb that, just like most NIMBYs.

Let's face it, what has Kidwelly really got to offer tourists anyway? The dunes are good for walking I suppose but that isn't going to bring in much.”

“What on earth makes Mr Cammish think the tourist trade will bring affluence to Kidwelly I've no idea. The Welsh are universally very poor at doing tourism - they cannot seem to grasp the basics. Until that is sorted out Wales will never have a thriving tourist industry like Scotland.”
