CHIPPENHAM'S new mayor is Richard Meek.
Mr Meek, of Wentworth Close, was officially made mayor last night.
His wife Karin, who is also a town councillor, will be his mayoress. Desna Allen was named as deputy mayor.
Mr Meek, who has been a town councillor for six years, has chosen the Chippenham Hospital League of Friends as his charity.
He said: "It was a difficult decision choosing a charity. I wanted it to make a difference, to benefit local people, and in the widest age range."
