Meet the Mayor
The Mayor of Torfaen wants to get out and about to meet more people at events throughout the area. Councillor Bill King and Mayoress Janet both work full time and want to encourage people to invite them to events as early as possible.
Councillor King is the Wales Convenor for UNISON, the public services union. He leads 100,000 members in Wales, and sits on the General Council of Wales TUC. Janet is a Community Midwife and Cwmbran Community Councillor.
Councillor King said: “We want to get out into the community and meet as many people as possible. But as we work full time we do need early notice to make sure we can book the time in our diaries. It is a balancing act between work, family and other commitments to make sure we can accommodate as many requests as possible.”
Councillor King has represented the Fairwater Ward since 1999. He is a family man with extensive interests in music, photography and cooking. His Charity Appeal supports War on Want and Amnesty International.
