Mayor 2021/2022

At the Annual Business Meeting on the 6th May, Cllr Doug Smith was elected as Mayor for the following year.  Cllr Smith has nominated Rev Rob Blackhall as the Mayor’s Chaplain and his two chosen charities this year are the North Devon Hospice and Tarka Valley Railway.  Cllr Smith said, “Being nominated by my fellow councillors for the role of Mayor was a huge honour, for which I am grateful.  I am following an illustrious succession in that office, and I will endeavour to maintain and build on the fine traditions set by them.  I am sure everyone in Great Torrington will be working hard together to recover from this awful pandemic and get life back to the normality we have all been missing for some time”.

Cllr Allin was also nominated as Deputy Mayor at the same meeting for 2021/2022.
