A message from County Councillor David Williams

Dear Resident,

I am putting this message out because I want you to be first to know, that I am resigning from my post of County Councillor at tomorrows full Council meeting.

The reason for this resignation is because I am completely frustrated, drained and disillusioned with our local authority, the Planning Inspectorate and Welsh Government. I have never been one to quite anything, but as far as I am concerned, enough is enough and this resignation is not about giving up, but more of a protest against organisations I no longer want to be associated with.

As many of you who have tried to communicate with various department in our local authority will know, it can be a nightmare even getting a response from some, let alone action from them. As an elected member, I can assure you that it is just as bad for me and Cindy, and at times, worse! I am sure you are also aware of how little our opinion matters to the Inspectorate and Welsh Government!

In making this decision, I want you to be fully aware that I will continue to help support residents as much as I am able, and continue to work as closely as needed with Cindy until the role is filled which will be through an election, probably around September/October. 

I will also be putting round a news letter that fully explains this decision in the next few weeks, and from this you will hopeful get a full appreciation of why this decision has been necessary.

Thank you all for your support over the years.

David Williams.
