Council

FOLLOWING the resignation of Cllr Steffan Richards, the town council has declared a vacancy in the Conglywal ward.

The Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales said the council s in Group A, with a precept over £200,000, and therefore likely to have a greater number of committees, which reflect their level of activity.

Town and community councils in Group A must ensure that an annual payment of £500 is available for a minimum of one and a maximum of five members to recognise specific responsibilities. The town council will therefore nominate which chairs of its committees is to receive the additional payment.

A change of luck saw them beat Pwllheli in the J Robertson Trophy final at Barmouth. The two sides met again last Wednesday at Dolgellau in the final match of the season, which was the Kenwyn Parry Memorial Cup and which was won 3-1 by the Blaenau side, thanks to two goals from Cai Jones and one from Gerwyn Williams.
