Hexham West’s Councillor Derek Kennedy has announced his candidacy for the upcoming County Council and Town Council elections. 

Derek has been a Hexham councillor for 18 years said “I have a long record of campaigning and delivering for Hexham residents. I am running for election again as there is so much work to be done for our town.  The Covid virus and lockdowns have had serious impacts on the people and businesses of our town and we need a recovery plan.  The new High and Middle School buildings will be completed for the new academic year in September 2021 this will bring first class accommodation for our students, we need to get safe pedestrian and bus routes to school in place. I am also campaigning for action at the old Bus Station and the empty Police Houses to be brought back into the housing stock. I will continue to support for our disabled people groups and sporting clubs.”
