Mayor’s Report

“Since the last Town Council meeting, I have attended the following events:

3^rd June – I attended the Kingsleigh 1^st birthday ribbon cutting and met the residents and staff who were marvellous.
6^th June – I enjoyed the Burnham Classic Car show, with Town Crier in attendance. It was great to see the crowds of people who were in town for this great event and I gave the Mayor’s Choice Award to a wonderful 1966 Jaguar Mk2 3.4.
