Cllr Ann Reid to retire

After serving our community as a councillor for almost 33 years, Ann Reid has announced that she will not be standing in May’s local elections.

The Lib Dem candidates for Dringhouses & Woodthorpe in May will be sitting councillors Ashley Mason and Stephen Fenton, and local campaigner Paula Widdowson who lives off Tadcaster Road.

Ann said “It has been a privilege to have served local residents for many years. I will be campaigning to help elect Ashley, Stephen and Paula in May – I know that they will be a strong voice on the council for local residents.”
