Dear Aycliffe West Residents,
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to stand for re-election on 1st May 2025. After twelve years as your Town and County Councillor, I am hanging up my boots, and pen, to spend more time with my long-suffering council widow wife and extended family.
It’s been a real honour and privilege to have served you, the people, community and partner organisations, within Aycliffe West Ward, with a special mention to Simon and Jane at Junction 7 who are real stars and trojans in serving the people of Aycliffe.
Due to the recent Durham County Council boundary changes the Aycliffe West and East Divisions have been merged, this has created a new larger Ward of Aycliffe South. Therefore, I am wholeheartedly endorsing Cllr. Jimmy Atkinson and newcomer Jack Stephenson as candidates for Aycliffe South in the County Council elections.
With Jimmy’s impressive track record as an existing Councillor and Jack’s unrivalled enthusiasm to improve our town, both will make an excellent team, combining with our Aycliffe North candidates, to drive much needed change in our community.
I urge you to join with me in voting and supporting Jimmy, Jack and all your Labour candidates at the election on Thursday 1st May for Durham County Council and Great Aycliffe Town Council – together we can all make a real difference that our community deserves.
Cllr Eddy Adam
Representing: DCC Aycliffe West Division
and GATC West Ward.
