The Civic Sunday parade recently was a celebration of the position of Mayor and very well hosted by Cllr Malcolm Pritchard and his wife. The lack of the Leader of the Council at the event made it a non-political event which ended up in cross-party members simply enjoy each other's company.

An elected Mayor would be a costly move for the borough and quite unnecessary although I imagine the proposed salary would be in the region of £30k.....

Mind you, having said that maybe it would show Peter Britcliffe that his popularity isn't quite what he imagines it to be but it would involve stepping down as a councillor first.

Bit of a gamble.
A salary?

Of around thirty thousand quid?

The attraction, as to why the idea is being proposed now, suddenly becomes clearer.

Why?

Because he's worth it.
