Neath Port Talbot council yesterday appointed Tony Clements to take over from Colin Preece, who will be retiring shortly. There will be those who would criticise an internal promotion. I have done the same in the past, but on this occasion I can assure constituents that the appointment was a sound one. Although the council met in camera, I don’t think I am breaking confidence unduly by saying that, although there was strong competition from an external candidate, Tony won on the merit of his overall performance on the day.

In my short time on the scrutiny committee, I have been impressed by his enthusiasm, attention to detail and clarity of presentation. We on the opposition benches have identified a number of areas where improvements need to be made. I am confident that Tony Clements is the man to carry them out.
