A councillor who was widely expected to be a Cardiff Council Cabinet member this term has mysteriously been omitted from the final list of portfolio holders confirmed yesterday. Cllr Keith Jones, ward member for Llanrumney, had been named in a shared portfolio as Cabinet Member for Transport in Leader Huw Thomas' proposed cabinet - a list of 13 councillors.
However, it was revealed at the authority's first meeting back after the local elections that there are now 12 cabinet members on Cardiff Council. Cllr De'Ath, who was originally listed as the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning in the Leader's cabinet proposals is now the Cabinet Member for Transport and Strategic Planning.
