Personal Message from the Town Mayor

"I would like to express my sincerest sympathies to those who have lost loved ones, and those who have been debilitated by COVID-19; my thoughts are with you all.

Community, Communication and Kindness - the themes that were the basis for my first year as Mayor are highlighted more now than ever! I have witnessed first hand over the past few weeks our community spirit, the use of different forms of communication to aid our work and connecting with loved ones, as well as the kindness of strangers through stunning acts of altruism".
