Sir Jeffrey said,
“It is great to welcome Gary to our team of Councillors across Northern Ireland who are working to strengthen their communities. Gary has a vision for the Sperrin DEA and wants to build on the work of his predecessors, including Allan Bresland and Maurice Devenney who have worked hard over many years to serve the needs of the local community. He will be a strong voice for the unionist people of Sperrin and ensure their views and concerns are heard in the Council Chamber.“
Gary said,
“I am looking forward to standing up for the people of Sperrin through the Council. This is a tremendous opportunity. Whilst unionists are the minority on the Council, I want to make sure the pro-union views from Sperrin are heard. Rather than driving up bills for working families, I want to deliver core services at the lowest cost for ratepayers. That will be my focus.”
