Councillor Walker has gained several years’ experience as a town councillor and last year took on the responsibility as Deputy Mayor of the town. Wishing to express his immense appreciation for being entrusted with the honoured position of Mayor, Councillor Walker states “I wish to stand as an example and advocate for the younger generation in the community, illustrating that younger people can have a voice and become involved in their community, to be listened to and be understood, to influence and bring about positive change”.

Councillor Walker is also acutely aware of the rise in mental health challenges young people in our community face and his objective is to help remove the stigma surrounding mental health and raise awareness of organisations that offer guidance and support. As such, Councillor Walker will be supporting the local mental health charity – Vale of Clwyd Mind in his desire to help create a more inclusive and supportive society for all in the locality He has also selected Rhyl Music Club as his second nominated charity, a long-established organisation that provides a productive platform to nurture musical talent of all ages that evokes a sense of connection and unity with others and in turn improves well-being.
