I thought the very same thing bigbadhenry. Granted Gareth Jones has a wealth of experience, but the time comes to call it a day and give the younger generation a chance to gain that same experience, on the other hand who wouldn't find £48,000 a year tempting.
Lets hope the cabinet will be comprised of the most competent people for each cabinet post irrespective of gender and put an end to the old boys club that is CCBC

This is interesting, .... worth a read.

Every event that could face funding cuts when councillors meet next week
As councils struggle with budgets several major sporting and cultural occasions that take place in North Wales could be hit.
A North Wales local authority is to decide whether 25 major events should continue to get financial backing for the next five years.
Conwy Council is planning to spend more than £500,000 on cultural and sporting occasions that are scheduled to take place within the county.

It is argued that the events - aimed at drawing in visitors, benefiting locals and media exposure - have brought in an estimated £20m to the local economy.
However cutbacks in Welsh Government funding mean Conwy will lose one per cent of its annual budget on last year to £152,405,000.
List ......

An unspecified BBC event, a one off payment costing £63,000 for September 2018.

Better be good for that amount of money - anyone have any ideas?

Also that list isn't comprehensive - I know of at least one council funded event not listed on there.

Last night of the Proms is on Saturday, 8th September, 2018, so that outside broadcast could be returning

The Corporate Research and Information Unit assess the economic benefits within the County of supported events.

Their latest assessment was for the Little Mix and Bryan Adams concerts in July 2017, I have put a PDF copy on line and you can download it from here.......  http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=1430191

The document is already in the public domain.

I read the comments and can't see any mention of Llandudno? A lot of these events take place in Conwy and Colwyn Bay, not just Llandudno. You really are  a moaning middle aged goat, b2r...  :laugh:

Both Conwy and Anglesey have approved above-inflation increases in council tax from April.

Conwy council is going ahead with a 5% increase while for people on Anglesey it will be a 4.8% rise.

The two councils will still have to find spending savings - £6m for Conwy and £2.5m for Anglesey.

The increase will mean around an extra £50 a year for the average Band D property on Anglesey.
