May I, through the pages of your newspaper, thank everyone who came along to mayor making at the town hall on Monday evening.

I can only apologise for the fact that we didn’t have enough chairs out and left some people sitting on the windowsills!

It’s an enormous privilege to serve Evesham as town mayor, and I’m looking forward to working with all the local charities, voluntary groups and businesses that, together, make this such an enjoyable place to live and work.

You can keep up to date with what I’m doing both on Twitter, @MayorOfEvesham, and our new Facebook page: facebook.com/MayorOf Evesham.

The mayoress and I are hoping to visit as many local groups and events as possible over the course of the forthcoming year, so if you’re planning an event and would like us to attend then please get in touch with the town council office.

Coun Mark Goodge

Mayor of Evesham
