Deputy Town Mayor of Brigg, Coun Ann Eardley, is set to take over in the not too distant future as the new Town Mayor.
However, she got an early taste of chairing a full meeting of Brigg Town Council on Monday evening while standing in for Coun James Truepenny, our current first citizen, who tendered his apologies and was unable to attend.
Monday's was not the easiest meeting to chair, with plenty of proposals, seconding and voting going on. But Coun Eardley took it in her stride.
Many readers will recall Coun Ann's hard work over many years with the DONKEY action group, which did much to tidy up and brighten the town some years ago.
She is a long-serving member of the Town Council.
The progressing from one Mayor to the next takes place at the Town Council's annual meeting.
