Leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd and Clwyd West MS Darren Millar is concerned that Conwy County Borough Council are advertising for a £45,000-a-year diversity manager, at the same time as cutting vital services.
With the council planning to close half of the public toilets in the county, and cut library services, Darren was therefore shocked to hear that they are looking to spend £45,000 a year on a diversity manager.
He said:
“It is unacceptable that spending is being prioritised on such posts when public toilets are being closed and libraries are facing cuts.”
Janet Finch-Saunders, Conservative MS for Aberconwy, said the salary was ‘a shocking waste of money’.
She added:
“Picking up litter, emptying the bins, dealing with potholes and increasing the social service spend are much more important than this nonsense post.”
