A Mumbles community councillor at the centre of a Welsh language row has said he was aggrieved about being removed from one of his roles and that he felt let down by some of his Labour colleagues. Cllr Rob Marshall has now submitted a complaint to the community council and called on its chairwoman to resign her position.
He also said he was worried about the impact of the language row on his career as a musician and music teacher. "It's absolutely having an effect on it," he said. The community council said it had received a complaint from a councillor and that it was inappropriate to comment further at this stage.
On August 16 councillors voted in favour of removing Cllr Marshall as co-chairman of the culture, tourism and communications committee and said he should send local primary school YGG Llwynderw a written apology. The school had complained to the council on the grounds of Welsh language and culture exclusion after it was told by Cllr Marshall that Welsh couldn't be sung by a children's choir at an event called Mumbles Fest 2022.
