IT is all change in one part of Herefordshire, with councillors resigning en masse at the start of this month.
Four councillors, including the chairman, announced that they would be resigning from Pyons Group Parish Council on April 1, according to minutes from a recent meeting of the council, although no reason was given for their resignations.
The group of resignations include Canon Pyon councillors Michael Perruzza, Richard Gibbons, and Colin Rees, and Kings Pyon councillor Rob Shubert.
Coun Gibbons had only joined the council in October, when he was co-opted to fill a vacancy.

The council is also losing its clerk, the minutes said, after an informal grievance investigation into alleged wrongdoing, the nature of which was not made clear.
The minutes said Coun Perruzza had found no evidence to support the complaint, however the parish council clerk Paul Hayden has resigned his position.
It was resolved that "the matter is closed with the sad consequence that the parish council will lose a very knowledgeable clerk", the minutes said.
A vacancy for a part-time clerk has been posted on the Herefordshire Association of Local Councils website.
