Resignation of Jon Owen (Kendal North, South Lakeland) Why doesn't he stand in the by election as a Green? Who knows what the local party might decide to do - it's their call, not his. There's no indication that he'd actually made contact with the Greens prior to this announcement. Maybe he's had enough of being a councillors anyway?

Resignation of Jon Owen (Kendal North, South Lakeland) Once again one wonders how he thinks he can be more effective as a non-councillor ?

Under the unofficial law that the City is a law unto itself Isn't it pronounced "Magna Carta"?

Well clearly something had happened when William Shakespeare came to write a play and completely failed to mention her.

Resignation of Jon Owen (Kendal North, South Lakeland) That is a very painful read for those of us who take pride in the Lib Dems being way ahead of the others on prioritising environment and climate.

Resignation of Jon Owen (Kendal North, South Lakeland) That is a very painful read for those of us who take pride in the Lib Dems being way ahead of the others on prioritising environment and climate. Sounds like we've done quite a lot of good stuff! This seems to boil down to some of our planning committee members agreeing to give permission to a coal mine. That's irritating, but there are always a large number of councillors who see it as their job to follow planning law to the letter (basically rubber stamping officer recommendations) instead of using their own judgement. Of course that's what they're supposed to do, but it makes the committee completely pointless. I assume that is the problem here.

Here’s a list of County Councillors elected as Members of the Senedd on 6 May, unknown at present if some will double job for a year or resign as a councillor Councillors Fox and Fychan have said they will carry on for a year. Laura Jones who succeeded to her seat last June, and was re-elected this month, is still a Monmouthshire councillor. I would be surprised if many step down. Mabon ap Gwynfor has stepped down as councillor for Llandrillo, Denbighshire.
