Former Deputy Mayor and East Devon District Council's Community Champion Cllr Darryl Nicholas was confirmed as the new mayor taking over from Cllr Joy Whipps who had served for two years.
The appointment makes Darryl the youngest Mayor in Exmouth's Town Council's 11-year history.
And if you also include the former Exmouth Urban District Council, which was dissolved in the early 1970s during the local Government reorganisation, it also makes Darryl the youngest chairman of the council ever.
