On behalf of the communities of Portskewett and Sudbrook in southern Monmouthshire, I want to pay tribute to an outstanding public servant. Anthony Griffiths has dedicated a huge part of his life to his communities. He has served as a community councillor for over 51 years prior to retiring from community work last month. Tony has been so much more than just a community councillor—he is a friend, a supporter, an advocate, and a go-to man for so many in our villages. Behind every event, every occasion and every improvement in our villages for the last 50 years, you will find Tony, a kingpin at the heart of things. His wealth of experience and his historic knowledge of the community has been priceless. He has added unmeasurable value to the community and, for year after year, has gone above and beyond what could be expected by a local public servant. He is always ready to help those who are struggling or those who need a hand—basically always looking out for people. He arranges the village Christmas lighting and manages the technical elements behind the many events that are staged year after year. Although now in his 80s, his service to our communities has not waned, and he is always right at the front of local life. Tony Griffiths is simply Mr Portskewett—a totally dedicated and reliable individual who gives all he has to offer for the good of others, but asks for nothing back. It’s a pleasure to celebrate his efforts in this small way today. Thank you.
