As this year’s council elections get ever nearer the focus is likely to be on who will and will not be re-elected. As well as interest in any new councillors that are elected, it will also be time to say goodbye to some councillors who will not be seeking re-election in the poll on May 5.
At a Merthyr Tydfil full council meeting on Wednesday, March 30, Malcolm Colbran, who has served as the mayor for the past year, read out the names of those who will be standing down as councillors. Mr Colbran said: “I’d just like to thank these councillors for their service to the county borough over the years.”
The councillors who won’t be standing for re-election in Merthyr Tydfil this year include Sherelle Jago who has represented Bedlinog and Trelewis since 2017 and Tanya Skinner who has represented Park ward since 2017. Mr Colbran said: “Thank you both very much for everything you’ve done and the contribution you’ve made to the council over the years.”
