They are recruited primarily because of their party affiliations and tend to support party advantage rather than the electorate. Carmarthenshire is probably a more obvious basket case than other similar authorities, in my opinion, because the last chief executive helpfully arranged the ruling coalitions and selected a succession of "council leaders" likely to be manipulated by him and his senior officers. In the case of the Wellness project, events exposed the failings of the project before the Council could get the City Deal Funding and build the massive development as planned with public grants and borrowing. To save face the current administration will probably try to build something on the site.
