Wymondham has a new deputy mayor after the previous incumbent Jack Hornby gave up his place on the town council.
Mr Hornby was given the role in 2019 in controversial circumstances, when he was selected by mayor Kevin Hurn after he and the other nominee, Suzanne Nuri-Nixon, split the vote 50/50.
At a meeting of the council on Tuesday evening, Mrs Nuri-Nixon was once again up for the position after being nominated by Annette James.

For the better part of a century, the iconic image of a Boston mayor typically conjured up the figure of James Michael Curley the real-life Irish-American city boss elected four times as mayor between 1914 and 1946. Think Spencer Tracy in “The Last Hurrah.”
That stereotype may soon be going the way of Boston baked beans and tri-corner hats.
The city is on the cusp of having its first woman and person of color as mayor when current Mayor Marty Walsh becomes President Joe Biden’s labor secretary. Walsh is the latest in a string of largely Irish-American (and one Italian-American) mayors all men going back the better part of a century.
