The outgoing Mayor Trevor Foster raised more than £27,200 for his chosen charities Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Macmillan Cancer Support during his year as Mayor.
Peter Clark, Mayor of North Lincolnshire, said: “I am looking forward to helping raise the profile of North Lincolnshire as a great place to live, work, invest, and visit. It is a wonderful place with lots to offer and I will be championing all what’s great about the area.
“I can’t wait to get out and about and meet people at events and raise as much money as possible for my chosen charity ‘When you wish upon a star’. It is a fantastic charity that helps make dreams come true for sick children by enabling them to do something really special in their lives.”
