THE annual mayor making in Northwich has been postponed because of coronavirus.

Greenbank ward councillor Kevin Rimmer was elected by fellow Northwich Town Council members in May last year to become mayor for the 2019/20 year.

In doing so, he took the chains from Cllr Alison Gerrard to start his second term.

Cllr Rimmer is set to continue in this role for now, with Northwich Town Council saying that it will review the situation regularly.

A town council spokesperson said: “We have put this on hold for the time being and will again review going forward.

“At the moment, all positions held by members previously will remain the same.”
