coun June Ashworth will be the next Mayor of the city of Lancaster.

Coun Ashworth was proposed for the position by her Morecambe Bay independent colleague Coun Shirley Burns, who said that Coun Ashworth was dedicated to the area and would be an excellent first citizen.
Coun Ron Sands seconded the nomination.
He said Coun Ashworth had provided exemplary service to her ward and had played an important role in tourism, especially supporting events in the area.
