Town Council

 

Introduction

The Stanley Town Council was constituted 1 January 1948 under the provisions of Ordinance No 1 of 1947.  The Council consisted of nine members; three nominated or appointed by the Governor and six elected by the Stanley electorate.  The first elected members were Les Hardy (Centre Ward), William J McAtasney (West Ward), Sylvester Barnes (West Ward), Martin G Creece (Centre Ward), Robert Reive (East Ward) and Robert L Robson (East Ward).  The first appointed members were Dr F J Sladen – Senior Medical Officer, Eric F Bunting – Executive Engineer, and Miss Madge B Biggs. The first town clerk was Karl V Lellman.

In December 1972 Executive Council decided that the Stanley Town Council was rather cumbersome and unnecessary and that Stanley would be more efficiently administered if the Council’s functions were undertaken directly by Government departments.  The Stanley Town Council was wound up 30 June 1973.
