The current Mayor of Douglas will continue in her role, but she will be joined by a new Deputy Mayor.

Natalie Byron-Teare chose Councillor Peter Washington to work alongside her for the next year.

She was re-elected unanimously and was nominated by former mayor Janet Thommeny who said she will promote the city with ‘respect’.

Councillor Byron-Teare says she will be continuing with her ‘community engagement’ theme.

The Mayor of Douglas will be supported by her husband Andrew Teare, whilst Kristina Washington will serve as Deputy Mayoress.
