Tories fail in bid to replace council's Labour leader in tense vote
AN attempt to oust Monmouthshire County Council’s Labour leader, and replace her with a Conservative, has failed.
Labour took over at County Hall in Usk when the Conservatives lost their majority at the 2022 local government elections, and formed a minority administration led by Llanelly Hill councillor Mary Ann Brocklesby.
