Conwy s new leader Cllr Charlie McCoubrey An Abergele-based county councillor has completed a meteoric rise to a top council political job after his predecessor won a surprise seat in the Senedd. Independent councillor Charlie McCoubrey (Pentre Mawr ward) has been installed as Cllr Sam Rowlands’ successor on Conwy county council, after being elected via a secret ballot with 49 votes – with six abstensions and one absent member. During an urgent item at the authority’s AGM Cllr Greg Robbins (Mostyn ward) nominated him for the position and Cllr Goronwy Edwards seconded the call. Cllr McCoubrey replaced Cllr Edwards as leader of Conwy First Independent political group a fortnight ago.
