Mayor's Acceptance Speech

Minutes:

The Mayor thanked Councillors R Ormerod and M Simmons and fellow Trustees for their support and that he was honoured to be Mayor. He then thanked those who had made it possible, in particular those who were no longer with us.

 

He talked about one of the Mayor’s bodyguard who lived near him when he was as a child and that he was told he was an important person who you would see at mayoral events all dressed up.

 

He went on to thank the former Mayor and Mayoress and looked forward to working with the Deputy Mayor and her Consort.

 

He would be supported by his wife Laura and was looking forward to attending events such as the Durham Regatta, Miner’s Gala and the Proms in the Park Freedom Event next month.
