Former Mayor Conolly to Walk Away from Council
Former Hawkesbury City Council mayor, Liberal Patrick Conolly will not seek re-election in the upcoming poll in September. The son of former state Liberal MP Kevin Conolly, he was first elected to HCC in 2012 in his 20s.
Conolly told his fellow councillors the news on March 26 a week ahead of nominations for Liberal Party pre-selection for local government elections. Several councillors told the Post that Conolly has appeared increasingly disinterested in the Council – he missed the last meeting – and there was little surprise about his decision.
