Councillor Candy Bingham was last night re-elected Deputy Mayor of Northern Beaches Council.
Cr Bingham, who represents the Manly Ward, will hold the post of Deputy Mayor for the remainder of the Council term until 4 September, 2021, when full Council elections will be held.
The term for the position of Deputy Mayor expired on 11 September, but had to go to re-election because the State Government postponed council elections scheduled for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic disruption.
Mayor Michael Regan congratulated Cr Bingham on her re-election.
“Candy continues to bring her breadth of experience to Council, having been involved in local government for many years.
“She is a committed and passionate advocate for her ward and also for the whole Northern Beaches.
“She is not afraid to make the hard decisions in the best interests of her community,” Cr Regan said.
