New Mayor for Honiton
Honiton's new Mayor was "made" on 6th June 2011 at the traditional "Mayor Making" ceremony. The ceremony dates back to 1847.
Mayor Veron Whitlock has taken over the the very popular and much loved Peter Fleming.
At the ceremonty Mayor Whitlock said:
“I think that every year previous mayors, myself included, have said that it will be a challenging year for the town council.
“This year will be no exception. But the town is represented by good councillors who will be working hard for Honiton. Looking at the coming year there will be reductions in funding and we are probably going to see quite a bit more.
“We need to be working closer with the district and county councils to address those to the benefit of the people of Honiton.”
The very popular new Deputy Mayor Councillor D Foster was also appointed.
