Llangollen's Town Clerk Gareth Thomas has given more details of the resignation from the Town Council revealed by llanblogger yesterday (Thursday).
In a press release he says: "A casual vacancy has arisen on the Town Council following the
resignation of Cllr George Hughes.
"In his letter of resignation, Cllr Hughes explained that his decision
had not come easily. However, he felt that he was unable to continue in the role
due to a number of factors.
"He stated that it had been a pleasure being part
of the Town Council over a number of years and that he was also proud of all
that the council had accomplished in the past and had no doubt that the council
will continue to be successful in the future.
"Speaking on behalf of Town Council, the Town Mayor said that he was very
sorry to hear that Cllr Hughes was unable to continue as a Town Councillor and
regretfully accepted his resignation and thanked
George for his past service to the town.”
Mr Thomas added: "The vacancy will now be formally advertised, as from this Friday, and a
by-election will be called if ten local government electors give notice, in
writing, to the Returning Officer at Denbighshire County Council before 13th
November2020.
"If an election is requested then current Coronavirus Regulations will
delay any poll until after 1February 2021.
"If no election is called then the Town Council will be able to fill
the vacancy by co-option and the Town Clerk would be happy to provide details
of this process to anybody who is interested."
