Fay Jones has this evening supported the decision of Liberal Democrat Councillors to resign following outcry at their move from their wards almost 100 miles to Pembrokeshire.
Fay said:
“In my view the only way to represent people is to live among them in the local community. You can’t do that remotely when you live so far away."
“I think it’s quite wrong for these councillors to be picking up more than £35,000 a year between them when they now live in Pembrokeshire.
“I know they’ve left the Lib Dems now, but what really sticks in my craw is that before the election the Lib Dems were claiming they were going to save these schools, but then went ahead and closed them anyway. It was an amazing piece of brass-neckery.”
