Exmouth Town Council today (Monday 16 May) elected Cllr Steve Gazzard as mayor for the fourth year in a row. 

Cllr Gazzard, who represents Exmouth Withycombe, has been the mayor since May 2019.

Cllr Alex Sadiq, who represents Exmouth Town, was also elected deputy mayor for the second year in a row.

Cllr Gazzard thanked his supporters during the meeting.

Speaking about the mayor before the vote, Cllr Tim Dumper said: "As mayor, you need to be able to speak with everybody, relate to everybody, and Steve has this remarkable ability to know the right words at the right time and I think that makes him particularly suitable.

"Whereas normally we wouldn't have quite such long mayoral terms, I think in this case it is justified… we have been out of action for the last two years or more and I think that Steve needs a chance to demonstrate his abilities in full."

Councillors are chosen to be mayor and deputy mayor each year at the town council's annual meeting in May.
