Conwy council leader's 'only option' was to leave Plaid Cymru

The leader of Conwy council has left the Plaid Cymru group.

Gareth Jones said he would sit as an independent following a meeting of Plaid's local branch committee, as there was "no future" for him as leader and a Plaid member.

Mr Jones's election sparked a row in the party after he named a cabinet which included Conservatives.
