A COUNCILLOR booted off Powys County Council's ruling cabinet has claimed he was only informed he'd lost his position by email.

Councillor Gary Price, who represents the Llandrindod North ward, was told in an email from council leader David Jones that he no longer wanted him as a member of his cabinet from the end of March.

Cllr Price, a member of the Shires Independent Group of councillors, accused the council leader of failing to personally inform him he had lost his cabinet job.
