Warminster has a new mayoral team for the year ahead, with its youngest ever mayor elected at the age of 36.
Councillor Jack Jones has been appointed mayor and Councillor Elizabeth Lee appointed as his deputy at the Full Council meeting on Monday 11th May.
“Thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in me by electing me as Mayor,” said Cllr Jones, who is a lifelong Warminster resident with a passion for sport, the environment and youth issues. “It is a true honour to serve this town and the people who make it such a fantastic community.
“When I became deputy mayor, I said it was an honour to serve and that I was committed to supporting our community, championing local voices, and helping to create a town that is inclusive, vibrant, and forward-thinking. Those values remain at the heart of everything I aim to achieve in the year ahead.
“It is also a privilege to take on this role as the youngest mayor in Warminster’s history. I see this not just as a personal milestone, but as a reflection of the opportunities within our town – that with commitment, passion, and a willingness to serve, anyone can play a part in shaping our future.
“Warminster is a town defined by its people – by the volunteers, local organisations, businesses, and residents who care deeply about where they live. My role as mayor will be to represent you, to listen, and to work collaboratively to continue improving our town for everyone.
“I will do my very best for and by the people of Warminster, and I look forward to putting even more back into this community we are all so proud of.”
As deputy mayor, Cllr Lee remains determined to ensure residents have fair and equitable access to essential health services as she continues to fight to restore a mobile breast screening unit in the town.
As a lifelong Warminster resident, she is passionate about helping shape the future of the town. She has a deep connection to the local community and is a willing advocate for small businesses, particularly those operating outside the traditional high street.
