Duncan Livingstone will serve on the board after winning a by-election this week.
Duncan Livingstone was elected to the board in a by-election with 141 votes- his opponent Sosthene Boussougou was unsuccessful with 102 votes.
Mr Livingstone takes the seat made vacant when Barry Murphy stood down from the commission last month.
He told Local Democracy Reporter Sarah Hendy, this is not his first foray into politics:
