Aitken elected to council FORMER Frankston mayor Glenn Aitken has been re-elected to Frankston Council. Aitken was elected via countback on Monday, 15 January. The countback was held to fill the vacancy left by Steven Hughes’ resignation. Aitken is a veteran of Frankston Council. He served as mayor in 2007, and sat on council until 2020. He was defeated at the 2020 local government
elections, but has remained involved. He has been a frequent fixture at council meetings as a member of the public during this term. In 2017, Aitken made headlines by bringing a jar of dog poo into a public Frankston Council meeting. He used the prop to successfully lobby for maintaining a dog ban in Frankston’s CBD. The ban was lifted by the current Frankston Council in January
2022. The next local government election will take place later this year. Frankston Council will change from multi-member wards to single-member wards at the election. Brodie Cowburn GLENN Aitken has been re-elected to Frankston Council after a countback. Picture: Gary Sissons
