Wayne David, Labour MP for Caerphilly, has responded to the sad news that Cllr Keith Reynolds has passed away.

Paying tribute to Keith, Wayne David said “”Like so many people, I am extremely sad that Keith has passed away. He was a wonderful man who cared deeply about the community he served. He led Caerphilly County Borough Council with honesty and determination and helped to establish a fine record of delivery by the Council.

“On a personal level, Keith was a good friend. We often ‘put the world to rights’ over a quiet pint and I was always impressed with Keith’s political knowledge and common sense, as well as his unwavering commitment to the Labour Party and social justice. Caerphilly Borough Council, the Labour Party and the village of Aberbargoed will miss him greatly”.
