Lord Mayor's biography
Lord Mayor's biography
Councillor Veronica Dunn
I was born in Walker and educated at Convent of the Sacred Heart Grammar School. I have been married to John for 57 years and have one daughter Jacqueline.
I was employed by Newcastle City Council from 1970 and was a Shop Steward for Nalgo from 1976 where I became National President.
I was elected as a local councillor in 2007 for Byker Ward. In my time as a councillor I have held various Cabinet roles and I became Lord Mayor in 2023.
The charity I am supporting in my year as Lord Mayor is the newly established Newcastle Solidarity Fund.
