Cllr. Berry gave a short acceptance speech the theme being working together as a Council. He spoke about the new vandal proof seats that would be ordered for around the town and said that flags would shortly be flown around the town in celebration of the Olympics and Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.
He stated Minehead was the gateway of Exmoor and that we should all 'spring clean the town' to promote the town to make it a better place for people who live here and for those that visit. Cllr. Berry also said he would like to look at purchasing more playground equipment and land for the cemetery.
He said he would like to set up a Mayor's charity to raise funds for local charities and asked that the Rotary Club of Minehead distribute any funds because of their impartiality. He ultimately wanted Minehead to be a "nice town for people to live in and visit".
