At the Annual Council meeting on May 16, 2012, Councillor Diana Osborne was elected Chairman of Daventry District Council.
Councillor Osborne, who received the chains of office from outgoing Chairman Ann Carter at the meeting, had served the previous 12 months as Vice-Chairman.
At the age of 38 Cllr Osborne becomes the youngest ever Chairman of the Council and she has chosen to support Cancer Research UK as the official Chairman’s Charity during her year in office.
Diana said: “I’m really excited about it because it’s a privilege enough to become a councillor let alone the Chairman, but I’m looking forward to being an ambassador for Daventry District Council.
“I’m looking forward to meeting with people around the district, and different organisations and community groups.”
Councillor Chris Long was also sworn in as Vice-Chairman for 2012/13 at the meeting.
Anyone who would like to invite the Chairman to attend any events held by local organisations or community groups can contact the Chairman’s Secretary on 01327 871100 or email chairman@daventrydc.gov.uk.
