During a virtual session of Richmond Municipal Council last night, deputy warden Alvin Martell thanked the residents of his district and wished his predecessor well.
He also extended his appreciate to all those running in the municipal election next month.
In October, 2019, Martell confirmed he will not be seeking re-election in district 2.
Martell was first elected as councillor back in 2004 in a district that encompassed the communities of West Arichat, Port Royal, St. Mary’s, and Janvrins Island. When Richmond County had its electoral districts decreased to five prior to the 2016 municipal election, Martell was re-elected in a new district that also took in the communities of Martinique, Poulamon, D’Escousse, Poirierville, Cap La Ronde, and Rocky Bay.
Martell was acclaimed deputy warden last year
