Councillors and Clerk

Councillor David Court (Chair) co-opted

No Political Affiliations

Ward: Fforddlas
Offices held: acting Proper Officer, interim Finance Officer

Committees: Finance, Staffing

My wife and I moved into the village eight years ago after selling up our vegetable growing business. Apart from the obvious natural attractions of the area two of our three children have married into Welsh families and live and work in North Wales. Three grandchildren to date and counting!

The country generally needs to find ways of coping with the effects of pollution, loss of biodiversity and an increasingly unstable climate. I joined the Council in May 2023 with a particular desire to help Llan deal with the problems that these are bringing to all our daily lives, bringing people together to protect and develop our residents, facilities and environment.

I support our local bus and train services, such as they are. We are very lucky to have both and it would be fantastic if we could encourage more people in the village to use them; that is the best way to press for more reliable, frequent services.

My career pre-veggie growing was in finance and so, in the absence of a qualified Clerk, I have been able to take on the role of acting finance officer helping to keep the councils financial controls up-to-date and working effectively.
