As predicted by this blog, the following press release has been issued the Kremlin on the Tywi:
Press release from the Leadership of the Council
We
are pleased to confirm that following a meeting between the Leadership
of the Council and the Chief Executive, he has agreed to stay on at the
Council for the time being.
This
is a very challenging time for Councils in Wales as we seek to make
huge cuts to our budgets, whilst trying to maintain services for the
people of our County. We are also uncertain over whether
Carmarthenshire will stand alone as a Council in just a few years time
or will be abolished. If ever there was a time when we need a first
class, highly experienced and respected Chief Executive at the helm it
is now.
We
are therefore delighted that Mark James has agreed to withdraw his
application for severance this year and to remain in post as our Chief
Executive for now to help the Council weather the financial and possible
re-organisation storms.
Mark
has made such a contribution to our County over the last 13 years,
transforming areas like Carmarthen Town Centre, Llanelli and our South
Coast as well as many of our schools and housing. We know he will
continue working for the benefit of our County and leading our new
management team.

Blast, Cneifiwr! I was having quite a good day. Why upset me, eh?
Blimey the PR dept. have spun this so much! It's hilarious! It just reads like sarcasm!
The councillors (and I daresay officers too, 'cept for maybe Weasel's bitch) will be as pleased as swimmers finding they're stuck in the pool with a turd.
And you can't polish a turd, PR dept., no matter how hard you try.
What did you expect?
You have all made sure he wouldnt get another job!

I resent that actually. We've done nothing of the sort. If anyone has made him unemployable, he wants to look a little closer to home...
