The leader of the independents group wants to see a more Rhondda Cynon Taf wide approach to decision making. Mike Powell who has led the RCT independents group and represented Trallwn ward on the council has said he hopes to see more fairness in how decisions are made.
Council elections are due to be held on May 5 this year and Mr Powell said the cost of living is going to be a monumental issue for lots of families in RCT. He said: “The answer to it obviously lies with the Westminster Government to a great extent and then likewise with the Senedd and then down to RCT itself.
“I suppose you could argue that RCT’s done its bit by only increasing council tax by 1% this year but again there are things the council could be doing with its budget which would greatly assist people in Rhondda Cynon Taf.”
