Daniel Carr

Daniel Carr is the county councillor for the South Blyth ward of Northumberland County Council and he also represents South Blyth on Blyth Town Council. Since 2021 he has been the Vice Chair of the Ashington and Blyth Local Area Council and the Chair of the Community Chest Panel. 

In May 2017 Daniel was the first Conservative to be elected in Blyth and in South Blyth as a town councillor for South Blyth. Daniel missed out on being elected as a County Councillor in South Blyth by the drawing of straws after a dead-heat in the election, proving, if proof were needed, that every vote matters!

In May 2021 Daniel was elected as the first Conservative county councillor to be elected in South Blyth. He is also one of the first three Conservative county councillors to be elected in Blyth, along with new councillors in Kitty Brewster and Newsham.
