Teresa Carberry

Teresa Carberry was a Welsh Labour politician who served as a member of Flintshire County Council, representing the Mold: Broncoed ward. She sat on the council from May 2022 and chaired its Education, Youth and Culture Overview and Scrutiny Committee, a role that put her at the centre of decisions affecting schools, young people and cultural services across the county.

As a scrutiny chair, Carberry was known for holding council officers and cabinet members to account on education policy, a job that rarely makes headlines but shapes the everyday experience of families in the area she represented. She also sat on the council's Governance and Audit Committee and its Standards Committee, giving her a role in overseeing the council's own conduct and finances, and she took part in joint scrutiny work covering both education and social care.

Her death was reported on 24 September 2026. Local reports described tributes being paid to her as an "amazing" councillor, and a post from a local news outlet said that tributes had been paid to a Flintshire county councillor who had died earlier that day. As of this writing, no cause of death has been made public, and details such as her age, date of birth and family circumstances have not been confirmed in reputable reporting.

Colleagues on Flintshire County Council, where she served alongside dozens of other Labour, independent and opposition members, were among those responding to the news. Formal statements from the council leadership and from Labour group colleagues are expected as tributes continue to be gathered in the hours and days after her death.
