Sam Rowlands, the leader of Conwy Council is set to stand down from his position at Conwy County Borough Council's AGM later this week.

After news of his success at securing a regional seat for the Conservatives in last week's Senedd elections, much speculation has been made of Councillor Rowlands' next steps.

Now it has been confirmed that Mr. Rowlands' will resign his role on Thursday when it is thought that a new leader will be appointed to set the agenda and forthcoming priorities for the local authority.

The Council Chairman Cllr. Abdul Khan agreed to include a vote as part of the session due to the urgency of the matter and Mr. Rowlands' intention to resign his seat as soon as reasonably possible.
