Ferryhill Town Council Welcomes 3 New Councillors
Following a successful recruitment campaign to recruit some further Town Councillors, the Town Council received 3 applications from interested candidates.
The three candidates were invited to a Special Council meeting on the 11th March 2026 and were each given 5 minutes to introduce themselves, give information on their background and experience and explain why they wished to become Councillors.
All of the 3 candidates gave excellent presentations, and all showed their passion for why they wished to become Councillors of Ferryhill Town Council and make a difference to the community that they serve.
2 of the new Councillors have been into the Town Hall to have their photographs taken and explain why they are excited to become Councillors for Ferryhill Town Council.
Councillor Anthony Hewitt said, “I have met some really wonderful people since moving to Ferryhill. How welcoming and kind they have been and how many people work so hard to help the community. So, I decided it was time that I stood up and did my part in trying to make Ferryhill a better place to live for all its residents.”
Councillor Keith Lloyd said, “I am very happy to join the Ferryhill Town Council as a Councillor for the Broom ward. I have lived in Ferryhill for 72 years, and think it is time to give something back to this community.”
Councillor Liam Fellows was not available to have his photograph taken; however, he did want to explain why he was happy to become a Town Councillor again for Ferryhill Town Council.
Councillor Liam Fellows said, “I was really sad to see so many vacancies on the Town Council following the local elections last May and that they hadn’t managed to be filled since. I really enjoyed my time on Ferryhill Town Council previously so thought I’d once again offer my service”.
“I’m passionate about improving the Councils facilities, what it provides for residents in the town and how the council communicates with the community. Hopefully working with the rest of the council and officers, we can strive to make these improvements.”
