Mayor's Office

Mayor and Deputy Mayor

At a meeting of Annual General Meeting of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council on 2 June 2025, Councillor Jackson Minford (UUP) and Cllr Tyler Hoey (DUP) were appointed Mayor and Deputy Mayor respectively.

Mayor Councillor Jackson Minford

This is a responsibility I take with great pride, and I am committed to doing my utmost to serve every corner of our Borough.

I look forward to working with the new Deputy Mayor to represent our communities with integrity and dedication.

Our Borough has so much to offer – from our vibrant towns and villages to our strong industrial base and outstanding natural beauty.

Over the next year, I aim to champion initiatives that support our local economy, promote tourism and strengthen community ties.

It will also be a privilege to meet and support the many volunteers, community leaders and organisations that are the heartbeat of our area.

I’ll be selecting a charity of the year soon and hope to use my term to shine a spotlight on its work and help raise valuable funds.

Deputy Mayor Councillor Tyler Hoey

I’m looking forward to working alongside the Mayor and fellow Councillors to help build a Borough that is inclusive, forward-thinking and supportive of all its citizens.

In the year ahead, I plan to be a visible and approachable figure in our communities, listening to residents and advocating on their behalf.

I believe in the power of partnership, and by working together across political and community lines, we can deliver meaningful progress for everyone in Mid and East Antrim.
