At a meeting of the Ulster Unionist Party Foyle branch held last night, Janice Montgomery was selected to replace Ryan McCready as the parties councillor in the Faughan DEA.  

Alderman Darren Guy, Chairman of the Foyle branch of the party said,

"As Chair of the Ulster Unionist Foyle Branch I want to thank both candidates who nominated themselves to replace Ryan McCready who stepped down from his Councillor role after successfully taking the position of Chair on the Londonderry Port and Harbour Commission.  Although just not making it over the line, I want to thank Glen Miller for nominating as a candidate. I have no doubt he will keep himself involved within the Party and in future elections.

"Congratulations to Janice Montgomery who received overwhelming support from all branch members during the selection process.  It is just rewards for the way she has continued to work for the Ulster Unionist Party in Londonderry since running in last May's Local Elections. I have no doubt Janice will serve the people of the Faughan DEA well. She will be a great asset to our Council team moving forward."

Ulster Unionist leader, Doug Beattie MC MLA said.

“I want to congratulate Janice on her selection to replace Ryan. I know she will be a huge asset both to the party team within the council and her constituents.”
