Great Harwood: Last full Council meeting for Cllr Ciaran Wells

Cllr Ciaran Wells, member for Netherton and Cabinet member Education, Leisure and Arts, is stepping down from Hyndburn Borough Council this May and attended his final full Council meeting on Thursday March 20th 2014. He was only in his mid-twenties when he was elected in 2010 and was the youngest member of the Council at the time but was quickly promoted to a Cabinet position due to his experience and knowledge in both politics and recreation.

Ciaran was given a warm send off by members on both sides of the Council chamber and is pictured above with his Labour colleagues after his final meeting.

He said, "I've enjoyed every minute that I've been on the Council and I would like to thank everybody for their support over the years. We should be proud of our heritage in Hyndburn and proud of the great volunteers and community groups who do so much across our towns."

A new Councillor for Netherton will take Ciaran's place following the elections on May 22nd.
