I live in London but I am in Anglesey every week or so and therefore I do notice periodic changes in Ynys Mon. As a Welshman living in London since 1987, I do appreciate the rich mix of tapestry and what it offers the capital city of the British Isles and indeed, the world. We have every nation on earth represented in London......but what about Anglesey?
The one thing I notice more than anything is the absence of a diverse ethnic background in Anglesey, indeed in North Wales. However, over the past few months I have noticed a change and until today thought nothing of it until I discovered what the majority of people in Gwynedd and Anglesey may be unaware of this situation generally.
It seems there are "organisations" that are placing young people in the locality but the local population seem totally unaware of why this is happening. I will be asking the very diplomatic wordsmith from the locality to contribute having done his research however I can reveal there are about 76 organisations in the Mon / Menai Are that carry on various roles including re-locating prison offenders. Why are we not told about these things by Anglesey and Gwynedd Councils. Who makes these decisions that will inevitably shape the future?
Did you know about re-settling offenders and do you care?
Stick around and I will hopefully provide you with more information soon.
Stay Tuned!
This is usually done by charities/third sector organisations acquiring large properties and turning them into HMOs. So long as the HMO will have an occupancy no higher than 7 ( I think, might be 1 or 2 either side), then there is no requirement to inform the council. The council do not even know it is going on until after it has happened.
