Mayor

Cllr Keith Vickers became the 16th mayor of North Lincolnshire following the Annual meeting on 25 May.

Cllr Vickers was born and educated in Scunthorpe. He served on Glanford Borough Council and was the mayor in 1993/94. He has been on Barton Town Council for 30 years and has served on North Lincolnshire Council since 1999.

He has chosen the following two charities to benefit from the Mayor's Appeal Fund:

When You Wish Upon A Star - this is a small charity whose primary aim is to grant the wishes of children suffering from life threatening illnesses. Since the charity started in 1990 they have granted over 14,500 wishes for some very brave and courageous children and their families. All children have wishes, but for these children and their families the wish is much more precious.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice - offers very special care for people in the North Lincolnshire area living with life-limiting conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and motor neurone disease. Every year hundreds of patients and their loved ones benefit from the care and support that they provide free of charge.

Cllr John Briggs is the new Deputy Mayor.
