Both votes were unanimous and afterwards Coun Clarke said: “I am most honoured that the members of this council have asked me to stay on for the coming year 2023/24 as your mayor, and I shall endeavour to do for Uppingham everything that I can to promote the town and the county of Rutland.”

Coun David Ainslie said: “I am so very grateful to my fellow councillors that they have seen fit to ask me to be your deputy mayor again in Uppingham for the coming year, and I thank you all.”

The next full meeting of Uppingham Town Council is at the town hall, 49 High Street East, on Wednesday, June 7, at 7pm.
