A FORMER leader of Ferryhill Town Council has resigned as a Durham County councillor for the town.
Pat McCourt was elected to the county council to cover Ferryhill in 2013. A county spokesman confirmed that Mr McCourt had resigned on March 16 but that he had not said why.
Amongst the projects backed by Mr McCourt was the £330,000 renovation of the Mainsforth Sports Complex. No date has yet been given for a by-election.
Mr McCourt did not respond to requests to comment.
