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.

Cllr Sandy Sutton, formerly the Chairman of the Finance Committee, was selected as Deputy Mayor.
Former mayor Cllr Whipps takes over as the new chairman of the Finance Committee, with Cllr Vivian Duval Steer retaining her post as the committee's deputy chairman.
