Mayor Harding has urged the public to get behind this year’s Poppy Appeal.

“The annual Poppy Appeal is a very significant time in our calendar,” he said.

“It is an opportunity to reflect on those brave people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us. I would ask that residents of this Borough continue to give their support and get behind this year’s Poppy Appeal.
