A MEMBER of Burntwood Town Council says he has made the “incredibly difficult decision” to resign.

Cllr Wai-Lee Ho, Conservative representative for Highfield ward, has confirmed he will leave the post with immediate effect.

He said his professional and family life had led to his decision.

> “This has been an incredibly difficult decision for me, but it comes after an exceptionally challenging year on a personal level.  
>  
> “I have changed jobs twice this year – and my current role as a field representative often requires me to be away from home for up to 14 hours a day.  
>  
> “Alongside my responsibilities on both Burntwood Town Council and Lichfield District Council, I find myself struggling to balance these commitments with the needs of my young family, including my youngest child, who has just turned one.  
>  
> “At this stage in my life, I need to prioritise being a present father and a dependable provider for my family.”

Cllr Ho – who will remain as a member of Lichfield District Council – said he wished the council continued success.

> “It has truly been a privilege to work with the town clerk and his team of outstanding officers and with members in our shared mission to build a better Burntwood for our residents.  
>  
> “I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I have had to contribute to our community and for the support and friendships I have experienced during my time on the council.  
>  
> “I wish the council continued success.”
