New mayor appointed for Pateley Bridge
Chris Thompson has been appointed mayor of Pateley Bridge for the next civic year.
Cllr Thompson was elected chair of Pateley Bridge Town Council at May's annual meeting in May. His wife, Dawn Thompson, is his mayoress.
London-born Cllr Thompson is a former telephone engineer who moved to Glasshouses with his family in 2001.
He suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 2012 and received so much support from the local community he pledged to give back when he'd recovered. He added:
Cllr Thompson pledged to attend as many community events as possible, support local North Yorkshire councillor Andrew Murday in his bid to establish a youth council in Pateley Bridge and to promote the town as much as possible.
