At the Annual Meeting of the Town Council held on Monday 18th May 2009 the retiring Town Mayor, Clr Bob Robinson handed over the Chain of Office to Clr Mrs Helen Burder who was invested as Northwich Town Mayor 2009-10.

The Mayor stated in her acceptance speech “that she was proud and honoured to stand as the newly elected Town Mayor and thanked the Town Councillors for having the faith in her ability to represent Northwich in the coming year." The Mayor stated that there were a surprising number of organisations within Northwich who provided many activities and services and announced that she had chosen Age Concern Cheshire and the Vale Royal Playscheme Association.
The Mayor then announced a new challenge that she was launching. Aimed at 13-18 year olds who lived or attended school in Northwich who wished to be considered for the position of Mayors Consort/ Mayoress. The person was to be selected through a selection process on Saturday 13th June and the successful youth would be expected to attend the Mayors Civic Service on Sunday 21st June 2009 as the Mayors Consort/Mayoress.
The Mayor hoped this new approach would bring a much needed younger element and opinion to the Town Counci and only enhance the reputation of Northwich as a Quality Town Council.
For further information about the Mayor's charities please ring The Mayor's Secretary, 01606 41510.
