“I am looking forward to taking on the role of Mayor this year and I will do my best to promote every corner of the Borough.

“During the year ahead, I want to support local retailers and see local businesses thrive in these difficult times. I want to see events in the Borough that both increase footfall and the economic return for our business community.
