Exciting news from the Vale of Glamorgan! Two powerhouse women are stepping into leadership roles, bringing fresh energy and passion to the community. Carys Stallard is your new mayor, taking the helm after serving as deputy mayor. Her background in community engagement, the environment, grassroots sports, and love for the Welsh language makes her a perfect fit for the role. Cllr Joanna Protheroe praised her for breaking down barriers and keeping community spirit alive through sport.
Joining her as deputy mayor is Belinda Loveluck-Edwards, a dedicated public servant known for her compassionate leadership. Nominated by Cllr Helen Payne, Belinda has been recognised for her unwavering dedication to her ward and her knack for listening and taking action on behalf of residents.
The outgoing mayor, Cllr Naomi Marshallsea, expressed her joy in passing the baton to “two incredibly feisty women.” Their roles will involve leading council meetings, handling ceremonial duties, hosting events, and celebrating both staff and residents’ achievements.
Here’s to a year of vibrant leadership, inclusivity, and community collaboration in the Vale!
