Rhodri Jones comments on resignation of Councillor Jane Cahill

I have recently been made aware that Jane Cahill, a Conservative Councillor on Prestatyn Town Council has resigned. Moreover, it has come to light that Jane Cahill intends to remain as Conservative County Council Councillor for the same seat. I feel that it is perfectly reasonable to ask why this councillor, after less than a year since the last local elections, feels inclined to resign her seat on the Town Council but then to remain as County Councillor. Should we assume that local Conservatives have little regard for local democracy in our Town Halls? I wonder if others, like me, feel that the good people of Prestatyn deserve a little better!
