Town council pays tribute to former mayor

Commenting on his passing Town Clerk Gareth Thomas said “I knew Cllr Pugh when I first took up my post as town clerk in 2012 and found him to be a very amiable and supportive councillor. 

"Even after leaving the Town Council, at the 2017 elections, Cllr Pugh continued to show a keen interest in the affairs of the Town Council and was regular visitor to the Town Council offices. 

"He was particularly supportive of the Town Council Annual Service of Remembrance, and it is very sad that he has passed.”

He is survived by his wife Barbara and his son Geoff.

His funeral will take place at 3.30pm at Pentre Bychan on Tuesday, March 22.
