Greg Noseworthy has emerged victorious from among a slate of five candidates running to represent Ward 3 on St. John’s city council.

Noseworthy garnered 1940 votes, representing 42.7 per cent of the ballots cast.

Walter Harding came in second with 958.

The byelection was called to fill the vacancy left after former councillor Jamie Korab to run in the provincial byelection.

He 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.”
