Closed petition A new Senedd Act to Recall Local Government Councillors.
As it stands there is no mechanism for constituents to remove a sitting local Councillor other than at the next election, which are very five years. There needs to be an Act similar to Recall of MPs but this time Recall of Councillors.
I believe it is only fair that we treat and deal with Local Councillors in the same way as Members of Parliament. If they are not doing their job they should be removed and replaced with someone who will carry out the wishes of the people who voted them in.
