New councillor spells out hopes

May 08, 2025

Hartlepool's new Reform UK councillor stressed she is determined to work hard for residents and ensure the party has a "very, very good" future in the town.

- Nic Marko

Councillor Amanda Napper secured victory in the Throston ward by-election last Thursday, with 889 votes compared to the 486 received by Labour's Lyndsey Allen in second.

Conservative Veronica Nicholson finished third and last with 151 votes.

The by-election was held after Labour’s Cameron Sharp resigned due to accepting a teaching position in a school managed by the local authority.

Reform’s Cllr Napper previously came in second to Labour’s Jonathan Brash in the July 2024 General Election and was a runner-up to Labour in the subsequent council Burn Valley by-election for the MP’s old seat.
