New Mayor for Ripley Town Council
At the Annual Assembly Meeting of Ripley Town Council on 21st May 2019, the new Ripley Mayor was elected.
We are pleased to announce that Cllr. Tony Holmes has taken the role of Mayor of Ripley for one year. The new Deputy Mayor is Cllr. Roland Emmas-Williams.
Cllr. Holmes lives in Ripley with partner and Consort, Ms. Lyndsay Cox. You will probably see him walking his dog around the town and along the Ripley Greenway. Tony also enjoys taking long walks in Derbyshire, going to the theatre and attending concerts. Tony is an active member of the Ripley Music Festival Committee.
This will be Cllr. Holmes’ ninth year as a Ripley Town Councillor. He is also a Councillor with Amber Valley Borough Council, and this year holds the Cabinet Portfolio for Housing and Public Health.
Cllr. Holmes’ chosen charities to support during his time as Mayor are Rethink Mental Illness (The Croft on Slack Lane in Ripley) and Ripley Hospital League of Friends.
Cllr. Holmes said, ‘My hopes and aspirations for my term as Mayor will be to support and visit many of the great charities and voluntary groups that our town has. The help that these groups do in assisting vulnerable people and the many voluntary groups that do so much in their spare time, make the Ripley Township a great place to live’.
The Mayor’s diary is already getting busy with local engagements. If you would like him to attend your event, please send a formal invitation to the Town Clerk, Ripley Town Council, 6, Grosvenor Road, Ripley, DE5 3JF or email townclerk@ripleytowncouncil.gov.uk
