Councillor Neil Morrison said he had very reluctantly stood down for personal reasons.

The conservative who had represented Newtown South since May 2017, said: "I would not be able to give my full commitment to the role as I have done in the past. I would like to thank my constituents and wish them well in these difficult times.

The council said that arrangements for a by-election would be announced in the near future.

"In the interim period, neighbouring councillors will be able to assist constituents," a spokesman said.
