KEIGHLEY town mayor Councillor Peter Corkindale has spoken of his “amazing” two years in the role. He said the pandemic had brought huge challenges and tragically claimed lives locally, which he hopes will be commemorated with an event once the situation allows. But he also pays tribute to the “brilliant” people of the town, whom he said he’d felt “extremely fortunate and privileged” to represent. Cllr Corkindale was elected mayor for a one-year term on May 16, 2019. However, he was re-elected to continue for an unprecedented second year following the Covid-19 outbreak and the start of lockdown. “The council felt it would be unfair to expect someone else to take over the mayoralty at a time when very little was happening and so decided to re-elect me – something I was happy to do,” said Cllr Corkindale, who steps down from the role this Thursday.
