Mayor of Yate
At the Annual Town Council meeting held on Tuesday 16th May 2023, Councillor Cheryl Kirby was re-elected as Mayor and Chair of Yate Town Council, with Councillor Ben Nutland also being re-elected to the position of Vice Chair and Deputy Town Mayor.
Councillor Kirby stated:-
“Last year was another extraordinary year, but one, where yet again, the people of Yate came together to support, help and encourage their community. All this could not have been achieved without the help and support of our staff and officers at Yate Town Council together with my fellow members.
This year, we have planned so many exciting activities and events for everyone. Our beloved “Yate Rocks” will take place on 24th & 25th June in Kingsgate Park – come along with your families and picnics and enjoy yourselves. Yate Heritage Centre will be holding a number of events and exhibitions, such as International Day on 16th September and Yate Ageing Better will be holding their Festival on 19th July in Yate town centre. Also, our newly launched Memory Café will be open on the first Friday of every month at the Pop Inn Café. So, watch our website and social media for details of upcoming events. Come along and we will look forward to seeing you!”
Councillor Nutland added:-
“I am delighted to have been re-elected as Deputy Mayor for Yate. We have an amazing new intake of councillors and I am looking forward to working alongside them to deliver the priorities of Yate’s residents.”
