The Mayor of Featherstone for 2024/2025 is Councillor Dwain Longley.
A Featherstone native he is currently serving in his second term as a Councillor following on from the 2022 elections.
It seems only fitting that in the Town Councils fiftieth year Councillor Longley should have been appointed as his own grandfather Ernest Longley was elected on to the inaugural group of Town Councillors in 1974 following on from the reorganisation of the local authorities from Urban District to Town Councils. He is the third generation of his family to serve as the Town’s Mayor, his grandfather served as the Town’s Mayor in 1977 and 1980 in addition to this his Uncle Councillor Keith Wilson served in 1982 and is still serving as a councillor on Normanton’s Town Council.
He will be supported during his tenure as Mayor by the former Mayor of the Wakefield Metropolitan District Tracey Austin who will be taking up the position of Mayoress during 2024 – 2025.
His Chaplains are Rev. Joseph Grosu and Mr Tim Haigh.
His chosen charity for his tenure is the Stillborn and Neonate Death Charity (SANDS), a charity of which he has supported for some time.
