Councillor Charles Meachin has been elected as Poole's 761st Mayor at this year's Mayor Making Ceremony.The traditional ceremony - one of the highlights in Poole's civic calendar - also saw Councillor Chris Bulteel elected as Sheriff and Councillor Joyce Lavender, Mayor of Poole in 2008/09, appointed Deputy Mayor.Cllr Meachin's duties as Mayor include chairing all meetings of the full council, overseeing all citizenship ceremonies for those becoming British citizens in Poole and representing residents as their ambassador at the many functions he will attend in his mayoral year.The new Mayor of Poole has chosen to support three projects for his mayoral year:

• Project Fortitude - A Royal Marines Poole initiative to provide serving personnel with an exceptional, possibly life changing experience, to help the rehabilitation of warveterans, injured in recent and current conflicts, through the challenging medium of adventure training.

• Chestnut Plant Nursery - Providing sheltered work opportunities for adults with severe and enduring mental illness. It aims to provide meaningful occupation in a pressurefree environment and use the healing nature of horticulture to restore mental well-being.

• Poole Hospital Wish List, Children's Emergency Department - Children's facilities in A&E are currently being redesigned and redeveloped. Art and play are seen as an integral part of the hospitals vision for the 'new look' facilities. Funds raised will help create a child-friendly Emergency Department.

The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Charles Meachin, said: "It is indeed an honour to be elected the 761st Mayor of Poole, by my fellow councillors. It will be a privilege as the first citizen of Poole to represent the citizens and celebrate our achievements. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful town, a delightful place in which to work, live and play."
