Steve Deeks-D'Silva elected as new Llandrindod Wells mayor
Llandrindod Wells councillors have elected their new mayor for 2015/26.
Steve Deeks-D'Silva was voted in last week.
He has previously served as mayor, being first elected in 2019; he was then re-elected the following year to serve a second term.
Cllr Deeks-D'Silva replaces the outgoing Cllr Marcia Morgan, and he was presented with his chain of office at a council meeting last week.
Kim Nicholls will serve as deputy mayor and deputy vice chair of the town council for the coming year.
He has wasted no time in office and presented a number of annual grant cheques to local recipients at Llandrindod Wells Town Council's AGM on Monday, May 20.
These included cheques to the Llandrindod Wells Carnival committee, Children's Eisteddfod, the Community Fridge, Llandrindod Wells Silver Band and the Twinning Association.
'At the annual meeting of the town council held last night, Cllr Steve Deeks-D'Silva was elected as mayor and chair of Llandrindod Wells Town Council,' the council said in a Facebook post on May 21.
'He is pictured below with former chair, Cllr Marcia Morgan. Cllr Kim Nicholls was elected as deputy mayor and vice chair of the council and is pictured below with former vice chair, Cllr Paul Smith. Congratulations to them both.'
Cllr Deeks-D'Silva's wife, Lauren, congratulated the pair on Facebook, saying: 'I'm delighted to say that my darling husband Cllr Steve Deeks-D'Silva and Cllr Kim Nicholls are now the mayor and deputy mayor of Llandrindod Wells.
'Congratulations to both of you, it is well deserved. This also makes me the mayor's consort. It's my honour to wear the consort's chain and I look forward to our year ahead.'
