The capital city has a new face on council.

Greg Noseworthy emerged victorious in a hotly-contested byelection to represent Ward 3. The seat was vacated when Jamie Korab stepped down after winning the provincial byelection in Waterford Valley.

Five people ran in the ward, with Noseworthy garnering 1940 of the votes according to the unofficial results released last night.

Walter Harding came in second with 958 votes, followed by Scott Fitzgerald with 837, Paul Morgan with 491, and Mark House with 319.

Noseworthy says he’s been hearing from residents at the door and is ready to work on the issues at hand.

“There’s a number of things. Big things, of course, are seniors issues, traffic concerns, speeding,” he said. “There’s a lot of localized issues. I heard a lot of that at the doors and chatting with folks and I’m really looking forward to working with the good people to tackle those issues.”
