Change.org; 'To not pay disgraced Local Authority Chief Executive, Mark James, a voluntary severance package'
Plaid Cymru AM Rhodri Glyn Thomas has also said publicly that he did not believe any more public money should be paid out for Mr James' departure.
(Western Mail, 30th September)
Update 15th September;
Rumours have been circulating, and indeed reaching Caebrwyn, that Mark James has already accepted another job elsewhere despite his severance application still to be decided. The council has denied the rumour and called it 'speculation'.
The Llanelli Star has the story here.
Over the border, the Pembrokeshire Herald reports on rumours that equally disgraced Pembs council chief executive, Bryn Parry-Jones, could be paid a £320,000 exit package. Councillors are due to decide tomorrow (Thursday).
As far as Carmarthenshire is concerned, it's all the more reason to sign the petition.
