A NEW mayor of Chickerell has been appointed for this year. Councillor Elspeth Turner was elected as mayor of Chickerell at the town council s virtual Annual Statutory Meeting on Wednesday evening. Cllr Turner is taking over the role from Cllr Mogg who has served as the town s mayor the previous two years. In her acceptance speech, Cllr Turner said: Due to the pandemic, some planned initiatives have not been able to progress as outgoing mayor Councillor Mogg had hoped. I look forward to building on those he began - green Chickerell in particular. I hope to focus on the younger people in the town and would like to involve them in a Pride in Chickerell drive.
