Coun Waltham said: “David and Julie will play a vital role in delivering first-rate services to the Isle and communities across North Lincolnshire.”
“I am confident in our team and I know they will all do an excellent job in continuing to create a great place to live, work, visit and invest.
“We are one of the few councils in the country to offer free car parking and also to retain our older peoples travel pass, this area has a lot to be positive about and we look forward to continuing the good work.”
