Josh McKeith

Councillor for St Peter's Ward
Shadow Cabinet Member for Children, Learning and Skills

Meet Josh McKeith 

Josh is a local Councillor and resident of St Peter’s Ward and is presently studying Law at Northumbria University.

Cllr Josh McKeith has been leading the way in fighting for more funding for Roker Park, with investment for improvements to the bandstand, park lodge and so much more. Josh has spoken in Council about the need to bring young people into the conversation about how we shape the city and their future. 

Josh has never been shy to hold the Labour-led Council to account for their poor services, from being slow to cut back trees and bushes to their inaction on protecting our local heritage assets in Roker and Monkwearmouth, namely St Peter's Church. 

As Shadow Cabinet Member for Children, Learning and Skills, I have a keen interest in the education system and children services. I am Vice Chair of the the Council's Children, Education and Skills scrutiny committee.
