Busy month for Kington mayor following several big events
Two Remembrance events, fireworks and a parish council summit have made the last month busy for Kington’s mayor.
Councillor Philip Sell said he had recently attended the Mayors’ meeting with Deputy Mayor Councillor Martin Woolford. He said the meeting also included Herefordshire Council’s chief executive Paul Walker and other officers at Plough Lane.
He said he had also attended the Parish Council Summit at Plough Lane with Councillor Martin Fitton. Councillor Sell said there were numerous presentations including one from Jonathan Lester about the formulation of a Parish Charter for Herefordshire.
The new Director of Education also did a presentation as well as the Director of adult social care and the footpaths officer.
“I attended the town’s annual firework display – which was a really spectacular show. The huge crowds were given a real treat. Great organisation and a really lovely atmosphere. Well done to all concerned,” Councillor Sell said.
He added that following a service at St Mary’s Church, fellow councillors walked to the War Memorial for annual Remembrance Sunday event.
“Both the service, and the gathering at the war memorial were very well attended.
“On Monday, November 11, I joined with pupils, staff and governors for the Lady Hawkins School Remembrance Day event at the school war memorial. It was a moving and poignant occasion and a great credit to all concerned, but particularly those senior students who led the service.”
