COUNCILLOR Ron Peart has been officially named Kingsteignton Town Mayor for a second term, at this month’s full town council meeting.

Cllr Beryl Austen was made deputy mayor, which was also a second time round for her.

Beryl was previously deputy mayor of Kingsteignton Town Council in 2009/ 2010. Outgoing deputy Cllr Dave Rollason handed over the deputy reins to Cllr Austen.

Mayor Peart said: ‘I am looking forward to a second term of representing our town to the best of my ability.

‘I am planning to visit as many people and organisations as I can, and move forward with the projects we are currently undertaking.’

Cllr Peart was also elected as Teignbridge district councillor and Devon county councillor for Kingsteignton and the Teign Estuary parish at last week’s local elections.
