Ardrossan and Arran councillor Peter McNamara has been named as North Ayrshire’s new youth champion – 25 years after he first took on the important role.
North Ayrshire’s cabinet made the appointment and Councillor McNamara admitted he was privileged to take on a role which has meant so much to him.
‘It was about 25 years ago when I was approached by Alex Pettigrew and Jim McHarg and asked if I wanted to be Youth Champion,’ said Councillor Mc-Namara.
