by Councillor Claire Detheridge’s seat was also vacant at last night’s council meeting.
Detheridge is now at the Regional Hospital in Sydney where she’s recovering from a brain bleed.
Council voted to grant Detheridge and extended leave of absence last light, a move that’s required after a councillor misses three or more council meetings.
Mayor Cecil Clarke says Detheridge is making a remarkable recovery.
He adds people in her district and the vacant district on the Northside can contact the Regional Council office if they have any concerns.
