Historic moment for Rhondda Cynon Taf! 🎉 Councillor Ann Crimmings has just made history by becoming the first female leader of the Labour group on RCT Council, following Andrew Morgan’s decision to step down. Ann is no stranger to leadership, having served her community with dedication for years, including roles as cabinet member for environmental services and former mayor.
Reflecting on her journey, Ann expressed her honour and humility in stepping into this new role. She’s ready to build on the strong legacy of her predecessor, Andrew Morgan, and is committed to investing in council staff and services that support our communities. With a focus on delivery, her eye is set on the upcoming local elections in 2027, promising to continue transforming our communities and aiding those most in need.
Cllr Morgan gives her his full support, praising her compassionate nature and extensive experience, which he believes makes her the perfect candidate to carry RCT forward. Ann was pivotal in achieving significant improvements in local services, including major investments in leisure facilities and recycling efforts.
Taking the reins officially at the council’s AGM in May, Ann is ready to lead with passion and purpose. This marks a groundbreaking step for RCT as Ann prepares to become only the second female leader of the council. Let’s show her some support and wish her the best on this exciting new chapter! 🌟 #RhonddaCynonTaf #Leadership #GroundbreakingWomen
