In this year's local elections, we were lucky enough through hard work, to increase our Conservative representation on Cardiff County Council, having held both Pentyrch and Radyr and Morganstown wards and gained the Creigiau and St Fagans ward from Plaid Cymru.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of Cardiff West Conservatives for their continued support and friendship over the last year. Our success in this year's local elections would not have been possible without your support, both political and financial and we must now rebuild our resources ready for the challenges ahead.
