New Mayor Installed at AGM

The Annual Meeting of Normanton Town Council on Tuesday 11th May saw Councillor Elaine Blezard elected to the office of Mayor for the 2010-11 municipal year. Elaine will be supported by her husband Steve and her daughter Lisa over the next twelve months.

Elaine is no stranger to the civic role having already served as Mayoress to her father, Councillor T G Jordan in 1997/8.

It has been a rather hectic week for Elaine who was re-elected to serve on the District Council on 6th May, which was also her birthday.

Elaine will be supported by her Deputy Mayor, Councillor Mrs Denise Clay and the Deputy Consort, Councillor Richard Clay.

The Mayor will be available to attend functions throughout the year and contact should be made with the office in the first instance.

Thanks to Outgoing Mayor

Thanks have been paid to Councillor Mike Burch and his wife Christine who have served the Town well as Mayor and Mayoress of Normanton for the last twelve months. They have done an excellent job as ambassadors for Normanton and Altofts and have raised over £4,000 for the Mayors Charity. Councillor Mike Burch chose to support a variety of local good causes in addition to the national Help for Heroes Charity.

Mike and Christine look back on the last twelve months with very happy memories despite Mike's illness in December. They have met many wonderful people at different groups and organisations and have always been given a friendly welcome.
