Wigan councillors have installed long-serving community champion and colleague Coun Debbie Parkinson as the authority’s new ceremonial mayor.
Coun Parkinson, 67, takes up the post alongside her fellow Standish and Langree ward member Coun Terry Mugan who is her consort.
Coun Jenny Bullen will serve as deputy mayor while her husband and ward colleague Andrew Bullen is her consort. After taking up her role from outgoing mayor Coun Kevin Anderson, Coun Parkinson allocated Wigan and Leigh Hospice - where she has served as a voluntary bereavement counselor for the last 13 years - and the family mediation service Talk First as her charities.
