Mayor Alderman Thomas Gordon

I am immensely proud of this opportunity to serve our inclusive community.

I look forward to working with the new Deputy Mayor to being excellent ambassadors for Mid and East Antrim.

We have so much to be proud of. Our borough is recognised around the world for its manufacturing excellence, particularly our strength in cleantech innovation, ambition and expertise.

The volunteers behind so many of great local organisations are truly the lifeblood of our community. From those partnering with council initiatives to those addressing local needs on their own doorstep – I look forward to meeting and supporting you in the year ahead.

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

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 Bethany Carson-Ferris

I’m looking forward to working alongside the Mayor and fellow councillors, council staff and our communities to make Mid and East Antrim such a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

By honouring our history, experiences and future hopes we can build an inclusive, forward-thinking and supportive borough for all.

In the year ahead, I look forward to highlighting our local talent, and helping to build a generation that feels confident, connected and proud to call Mid and East Antrim home.
