The Mayor of Axbridge
The Mayor and Deputy Mayor were elected at the annual "Mayor Making" ceremony in the Town Hall on the 16th May 2011. Councillors Barry Hamblin and Ian Laken were proposed and seconded by members of the Town Council. At the meeting, the outgoing Jeremy Gall made a well-received speech re-capping the year's successes, and the Town Council's thanks go to him for the sterling efforts he put in on behalf of the Town during a hectic and extremely busy year, promoting the town and recognizing its achievements as well.
Councillor Hamblin was duly "robed", and took the official Oath to uphold just about everything for Queen, country, and Axbridge. Click here to see the exact words which were spoken.
Our new Mayor has held this esteemed position once before in 2006, so we don't have any sympathy with him when he complains about the workload!
