Geoff and Rosie elected into office

At this week’s Alnwick Town Council meeting, Councillor Geoff Watson was re-elected as Mayor, while Councillor Rosie Bush was appointed as the new Deputy Mayor.

Upon his re-election, Councillor Watson expressed gratitude to his colleagues for their continued confidence in his leadership and reaffirmed his pledge to serve the residents of Alnwick to the very best of his ability. He extended a special thanks to the outgoing Deputy Mayor, Councillor John Humphries, for his dedicated service.

Geoff noted that representing Alnwick over the past year has been a profound honour and that the support of his colleagues was heartening as the town faced the commencement of several major projects.

Councillor Bush said “I’m excited about my new role of Deputy Mayor. I look forward to increasing my engagement with residents of all ages and with the guidance of Geoff and my fellow councillors I will continue to support the work of the Town Council across the town.”
