NEWTON councillor Sandra Banawich has relocated to Grange Park in St Helens but is continuing with her council duties.

Clr Banawich has moved to offer greater support to disabled relatives and is not yet sure if the move is permanent.

She will still attend her twice-monthly surgeries and will remain a governor at two Newton schools as well as attending regular community meetings in the town.

She can currently be contacted on her usual council number and email.

Leaflets regarding her new contact details will be available in Newton over the next few weeks.

She will be consulting with constituents and her fellow councillors over whether or not to seek re-election next year.
