Tenby’s current Mayor will don the scarlet robes of office for a second term it was announced this week.

Mayor of Tenby, Cllr. Dai Morgan, has been elected to carry on the role for next year, after being the unanimous choice amongst his fellow councillors to continue as the town’s First Citizen for 2024/25.

At a meeting of Tenby Town Council this week, in time honoured tradition, each member sat around the table of the Mayor’s Parlour was asked in turn if they would like to be considered for the post as Mayor, with only Cllr. Morgan indicating that he would.

He said that becoming Mayor last May had been an honour, but what had been a privilege was getting out and about and meeting so many individuals and organisations who do so much for the town over the year.

Cllr Morgan said that he had started a number of initiatives during the year and would be grateful if members would give him the opportunity of a second year in the chair to see them through to completion.

Cllr. Sam Skyrme-Blackhall happily proposed that Cllr Morgan be come Mayor Elect for 2024/25, with Cllr. Duncan Whitehurst seconding.

It was announced last month that there will be no Civic meal traditionally held after the Mayor is elected in Tenby this year, with the Town Council stating that they are scrapping the reception for 2024, to help balance the budget.

The Mayor Making function usually takes place in May with a reception in the De Valence Pavilion.
