The voters of Camperdown elected Labour’s Peter Gerard Earley as one of their ward representatives for North Tyneside Council in last night’s by-election.
The by-election was triggered after the ward’s previous councillor, Jim Allan, had to stand down after his health issues prevented him from attending council meetings.
Coun Earley returns to the council after having been deselected as a Benton councillor ahead of May’s local election. The Labour Party’s candidate received 873 votes, down 84 from the latest local elections.
