Wigan councillors have installed long-serving community champion and colleague Coun Debbie Parkinson as the authority’s new ceremonial mayor. Coun Parkinson, 67, takes up the post alongside her fellow Standish and Langree ward member Coun Terry Mugan who is her consort.
Coun Jenny Bullen will serve as deputy mayor while her husband and ward colleague Andrew Bullen is her consort. After taking up her role from outgoing mayor Coun Kevin Anderson, Coun Parkinson allocated Wigan and Leigh Hospice - where she has served as a voluntary bereavement counselor for the last 13 years - and the family mediation service Talk First as her charities.
Born Hammersmith, London, Coun Parkinson moved to Standish in 1976 when she married. The mother-of-three is an authorised lay minister of St Wilfrid’s Church in Standish. She was first elected to Wigan council in 2019 and after being re-elected in 2023 she was appointed as Wigan’s ‘Older Persons Champion’.She was appointed to the board of trustees of Wigan’s Citizens Advice Bureau in March this year.
She told fellow council members: “I am thrilled and privileged to stand hear as the elected mayor of Wigan. I wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of my family, colleagues and council officers. I am grateful to the leader for the faith that has shown in me. I am committed to the borough with honesty and integrity. I promise to represent Wigan to the best of my ability.”
