A HOUSING body has appointed two new members of its board.
Tenant Christopher Maddison-Dighton and businessman Mike McNally are to join the board of East Durham Homes.
Mr Maddison-Dighton lives in Murton and has been a tenant of East Durham Homes for three years.
The 28-year-old becomes the youngest person ever to serve on the board, which oversees the running of former council housing in East Durham.
Mr McNally, who lives in Durham City, is business director for Hays Construction and Property where he has worked for the last 15 years.
Keith Gallagher, chair of East Durham Homes, said: "I would like to welcome the new directors to the board of East Durham Homes.
"The board has gone from strength to strength and these new appointments will further enhance the board and contribute to taking the company forward."
