AT Banbridge District Council’s annual meeting on Friday 15 June 2012, DUP councillor Junior McCrum was elected to serve as Chairman for the coming year and will be supported in the role of Vice-Chairman by UUP councillor Elizabeth Ingram.

Junior, who has served as Chair and Vice-Chair on several committees since he became a councillor in 2005, was overjoyed at his appointment, saying: “I am delighted to be serving as Council Chairman for the ensuing year. Without question Councillor Baird will be a hard act to follow given her vast experience and long service. However, I promise to perform the duties of the role with the same dedication and enthusiasm as my predecessor. This year is certain to be a busy one but I am looking forward to representing the Council at the many engagements that lie ahead. I know Councillor Ingram and I will work well together for the benefit of the district.”

Councillor David Herron proposed and Councillor Jim McElroy seconded the new Chairman’s appointment. Councillor Glenn Barr proposed and Councillor John Hanna seconded the new Vice-Chairman’s appointment.
