Scartho councillor tonight set to become the new First Citizen of North East Lincolnshire

Cllr Lindley - much of his working life has been spent in frontline patient care with the NHS

 

                                                                  

A FREEMASON is this evening set to become the new Mayor of North East Lincolnshire. 

Cllr Ian Lindley, of the Grimsby Saint James Lodge, will succeed Cllr Steve Beasant at the Mayor-making ceremony to be held from 7pm in Grimsby Town Hall.

Formerly a Labour councillor, Cllr Lindley - a hospital theatre nurse by profession - switched allegiances and is now one of three Conservatives representing the Scartho ward.

Over the past 12 months, he has been Deputy Mayor to Cllr Beasant, one of two Liberal-Democrats representing the East Marsh ward.

At this evening’s meeting, he is expected to name his chosen charities for the forthcoming year.
