Chairman's page

At the Annual Council meeting on May 20, 2010, Councillor Kevin Perry was elected Chairman of Daventry District Council.

Councillor Perry officially received the chain of office from his predecessor, Councillor Daniel Cribbin, during the meeting, while Councillor Ann Carter was sworn in as Vice Chairman.

Councillor Perry has lived in the village of Weedon all his life and has represented the ward on the Council since 1992.

He will be fitting in the new demands of being Chairman and a district councillor alongside his job as a security contractor.

Councillor Perry said: “It’s an honour to be the new Chairman for the forthcoming year. I have lived in the district all my life and there’s a lot going for it.

“One of the things that stands out to me is the amount of time that people dedicate to volunteering and helping the district because in the rural areas it’s very important to get that level of support.

“I want to go out to see people doing their best in their community and give them a thank-you on behalf of the district.”

Councillor Perry has chosen to support the Friends of Danetre Hospital as the official Chairman’s Charity for 2010/11.
