“We just seemed to be a punching bag for all his policies, and since we’ve come out of Covid, he has done nothing to help the businesses recover, and now going into a cost-of-living crisis, he goes and puts a 20mph speed limit in place, which has caused massive problems for our industry,” he said.
Meanwhile a pub in Ceredigion, whose previous owners were fined for breaking Covid rules, hosted a celebration evening after Mr Drakeford announced he was stepping down.
The Black Lion Hotel in Aberaeron posted on social media: “Happy Hour tonight.
“To celebrate the welcomed resignation of Drakeford, we are celebrating with a Happy Hour tonight.”
