Disillusioned Rhyl councillor steps down

Jun 17 2009 by Andrew Davies, Denbigh Visitor

COLIN Jones has resigned from his position on Rhyl town council.

Mr Jones was elected in May 2008 as a representative of Bodfor ward which is the town centre area.

“Most decisions affecting Rhyl seem to start as recommendations from county council staff; county councillors say yes to most of these. Town council acts as an advisory body up to a point but has no power to change anything,” said Mr Jones.

“Of the 22 members I was the only one who didn’t belong to a political party. I worked without payment of any kind and would have remained if politics in general were it not in such a mess."
