The Mayor of Cockermouth, Councillor David Malloy
Councillor David Malloy, All Saints Ward, independent.

I am a married father of three grown up children and I also have two grandchildren. My wife Lynn will be acting as my consort for the upcoming year.
Born and raised in Cockermouth I am very proud to be elected as Mayor of Cockermouth and I hope that I can justify the faith bestowed on me by my fellow Councillors.
I do know at least six generations of my family have lived in the town which really is a fantastic place to live and bring up future generations of Cockermothians.
I currently work for United Utilities where I have been for the last 37 years. Before that I worked at Strawberry How Farm for a number of years before I left school.
Outside of my family I am an active member of Cockermouth and Loweswater agricultural Shows and I also sit on the Advisory Committee for Greysouthen Young Farmers Club. I am a Governer at All Saints Primary School along with being a Trustee of many local charities within the town.
My chosen charities for the upcoming year are Linking Lives which helps provides a vital service, befriending and arranging activities for lonely or isolated people. I have also chosen the Europe Prize Scholarship Fund which is available to Cockermouth School pupils to help them pursue studies in Europe.
