Alan returns to Council


Whickham South and Sunniside Liberal Democrat Councillor Alan Ord has returned to Gateshead Council for his first meeting since being taken seriously ill with food poisoning.

Alan was struck down by the bug in October last year and underwent a major operation as a result. He came out of hospital just before Christmas. On Thursday 26th January he attended his first council meeting.

"It was great to be back and I'm looking forward to getting into the full swing of things," said Alan.
