At the end of a two-hour meeting last night (Monday) Plaid Cymru councillors forming the 28-strong opposition group on Carmarthenshire County Council unanimously resolved to present two motions of no confidence in the Council’s leadership.
The first is a motion of no confidence in Chief Executive, Mark James.
The second is a motion of no confidence in three members of the Council’s Executive Board – Leader, Kevin Madge, former Leader Meryl Gravell and Deputy Leader, Pam Palmer.

Cllr Hughes Griffiths added that Council Leader Kevin Madge should immediately suspend the Chief Executive pending a full investigation.
