For Cllr Lynskey, it will be the second time she has donned the robes and chains having represented the borough in 2010/11.

After being voted in as Mayor she told the councillors: “I’d just like to say thank you for voting for me. It is a privilege to be the Mayor, it is even more of a privilege to be a returning Mayor.”

Neither the current Mayor, Joe Plant, nor the Deputy Mayor, Dilys Cluer, sought re-election to the council in May’s local elections.

The Mayor-making ceremony will take place at Scarborough Town Hall at 11am.
