Councillor John Kelly

As Portfolio Holder for Communities and Culture I provide leadership for the Council and its partners. I aim to lead partners to achieve improvements within the Area and Communities and to develop and promote the cultural strategy and initiatives.

I hold a Ward Surgery every first Saturday of the month (except August) between 10.00am and 12.00pm at the Washington Millennium Centre.

As your City Councillor, the council’s data protection policy applies when I am carrying out council business. This explains your data protection rights and who to contact if you have a query about use of your data;  https://www.sunderland.gov.uk/data-protection.

When working for you  as your Ward Councillor, I respect your data protection rights and only use the personal data you provide as needed to respond to your enquiries. This can include sharing the information you provide with council officers and other services and organisations so I can get information to reply to you, which might include information about you and your circumstances. I also share information with other Councillors who may be able to help. If you would prefer me not to share your information with a particular person, or organisation please let me know when you contact me.
