Llandrindod Wells Town Council is unable to provide a school governor to represent them at Ysgol Trefonnen at the moment.

Deputy Mayor Councillor Paul Smith recently resigned from the role at Ysgol Trefonnen because he has become a parent governor at Crossgates Primary School.

He told town councillors recently that if that appointment had not come up he would have continued with Trefonnen School.

“There is a great group of governors there with a range of skills and a school with a lot of diversity and depravation. It is a good school and you could make a difference there,” he said.

Llandrindod Wells Mayor Councillor Marcia Morgan said she is a governor at Cefnllys Primary School and it can be a busy role but it is also very rewarding.

No members of the council volunteered at the November meeting so the clerk said she would ask three absent members if they would like to take on the role.

But at the December meeting she said Councillor Sian Meredudd said she was too busy at the moment and the other two members contacted had not responded.

Members agreed that the clerk should write to the school and say they do not have anyone to be a governor at the moment and they hope they will be able to address it again in the future.
