Your town council is pleased to report that Councillor Mike Childs has been elected at the Town Council’s Annual Meeting on Monday, 20th May 2024 as the new Mayor of Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn for the municipal year 2024-25.
Commenting on his appointment, Councillor Childs said, “It is a great honour to be chosen as Mayor of Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn. I am very pleased that all councillors supported my appointment. I will work hard to repay their trust. My thanks also go to the retiring Mayor, John Byrne, for his support and the work that he put in during his two years in office. We have lived in Newtown since 1987 and our children went to Penygloddfa Primary school. They were members of many clubs and societies. I hope that I can pay forward (as I can’t pay back) for all the efforts of the Newtonians who helped our children grow up.”
The Deputy Mayor elected for this year is Councillor Margaret Lewington. Commenting on her recent appointment, Councillor Lewington stated, “I am tremendously honoured and privileged to have been elected Deputy Mayor of the town council by my fellow councillors at our recent Annual Meeting. I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank them for their support and placing their trust in me. As well as continuing to work closely with my fellow councillors and staff, I am looking forward to supporting our newly elected Mayor, Councillor Mike, as we continue the good work undertaken by the council across so many areas for the benefit of all our residents.”
