The Mayor said: “I feel hugely privileged to have been chosen by my fellow councillors to be their mayor for the second year in a row. I’m now looking forward to a second year getting out and about meeting the people of our wonderful area and hearing their stories.”

Cllr Dr Carol Stow continued: “This year the charity I will be supporting is CROWS - Community Rights of Way Service. This is a group of people, all volunteers, who repair and improve paths in our local area. So many people, both locals and visitors, gain immense social and health benefits from walking but we often forget that paths need maintenance and clear signing. CROWS quietly get on with maintaining and repairing paths, ensuring we can all continue to enjoy our magnificent local countryside.”
