Conwy Council leader Charlie McCoubrey resigns in October 2025 over funding concerns, citing underfunding for aging populations.
Conwy County Council leader Charlie McCoubrey, a retired dentist and former boxer, will step down in October 2025 after four years leading the Conwy First Independent Group.
He announced his resignation to the council’s 55 councillors on September 23, citing concerns over the Welsh Government’s funding formula and chronic underfunding, particularly for areas with aging populations like Conwy.
McCoubrey highlighted disparities in per capita funding compared to neighboring councils and played a key role in the region’s UK City of Culture bid.
A special meeting on October 8 will begin the formal process to select a new leader.
No further details on his successor or personal reasons for stepping down were provided.
