Former mayor Pearl Briggs has resigned from Bromyard Town Council after becoming "disenchanted" with the behaviour of fellow councillors.

Mrs Briggs said she had been finding it difficult to attend meetings for some time due to work and family commitments.

She said of the councillors: "The constant bickering and lack of respect that is shown by them to others is not conducive in contributing towards a quality professional council."

Mrs Briggs concluded by wishing the council well and hoping councillors can put aside their "petty differences and learn to work together as a team".
