Congratulations to our new town Mayor, Jane Gibson, and her deputy Amanda Simmonds. What a team! Well done both of you,
New Mayor, Jane (right in photo) said:
‘I am delighted to have been elected as Mayor to Ilkley Town Council with a majority. I love this town. I believe in social justice, fairness, opportunity, inclusion and community. I feel protecting our natural environment and our community resources is crucial. We have already supported the work of The Great Get Together in providing food parcels for families during school vacations. There is more to do to support community groups in and around Ilkley, and it’s beautiful environment. These community groups are the town’s life-blood and make Ilkley the wonderful place it is.’
Chair of Ilkley Labour Party announced the news and comments on behalf of the local party ‘We are sure we’ll all give your our best support as you work together for the good of our Town.’
