Ruth E Thomas - Political Persuasion: Co-operative Party
I was born on 21st January 1942 in Pentre Bychan. I got married in July 1960 and moved to live in Ponciau. I have been living in my present home since 1968, where I live with my partner John. I have been a member of Rhos Community Council for Johnstown Ward for over 30 years and a school governor on both of the Johnstown schools longer than either of our Head Teachers.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being involved with the council and the schools, all of which I do to the best of my ability, and will continue to do so for as long as I am able.
I wouldn't change a thing for all the tea in China.

Kelly Bellis
I have been a resident of Johnstown for 15 years now. I joined Rhos community council as a community councillor for Johnstown to make a difference in the community.
I have organised the Johnstown carnival with my team of volunteers Denise’s Army, which takes place every year in August and has been very successful, I started a youth club in the Johnstown community centre which was successful unfortunately it is currently not able to run due to lack of volunteers to staff it.
Myself, other councillors, and my team of volunteers have also started a community cash bingo night in the community centre with all money raised going to the upkeep of the community centre.
I am very passionate about our community and strive to do whatever I can to keep the community spirit alive and make Johnstown a better place to live.
Geoff Foy
I have lived in Crescent Villas, Johnstown for 33 years. By profession I’m a town planner, urban designer and conservation planner which involves creating better places for people to live work and play through attention to housing, planning, architecture, design heritage, sustainability traffic and highways.
I chair a local charity which draws attention to good practice and tries to improve poor proposals in the built and natural environment and promotes community spirit through awards, talks and publications.
I have worked with 5 local authorities including Wrexham, I am currently self-employed. I know Rhos and Johnstown very well and consider that my background could help create and sustain a better environment for residents and contribute with the operations of the community council; the level of local government closest to the people. Since moving to Johnstown I have enjoyed playing for local quiz teams.
