Councillor Joyce Lucas was nominated by controversial Town Councillor Martin Brookes.
Councillor Lucas was duly elected by all but one member to serve as the Chairman and Towns Mayor for the next year.

The AGM was attended by 3 member of the public.

One public deputation was in the form of a question, can we refuse to a accept a council representative on their outside committee, the answer was given yes.

This has only been done once when the Oakham Festival refused to accept Cllr Martin Brookes last year.

The whole matter of electing members to represent the council on outside groups was deferred to the policy committee. Some members feel the council is involved with to many outside groups. So the member of the public may get lucky and have no Councillor on there committee.
