Lib Dems gain a seat on Town Council

Haxby Town Councillor Ruth Pearson
Sun 28 Nov, 2021 @ 9.09 pm News David Dunning

Liberal Democrat candidate Ruth Pearson has been elected to serve on the Haxby Town

She is a local resident and former senior nurse and hospital coordinator and will now represent local residents of Haxby North.

The election, held on the same day as the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner vote, saw three candidates contest the Haxby Council seat. 

Ruth Pearson secured 239 votes (representing 75% of those cast)

She first moved to Haxby in 1964. While she was on the PTA at Oaken Grove School, she campaigned to keep the school open.

She says she is proud that the campaign managed to retain the Youth and Community Centre – it will hopefully become the new library, following investment secured by York’s Lib Dems.

“I think Haxby is lovely but it could be made even better. I have lived in Haxby for many years and this will be my opportunity to work to give something back to the community I love.” She said.

Parish and Town councils are the first tier of local government in the neighbourhoods they serve.
