A NEW leader has been chosen for the Labour group on Didcot Town Council.

Chartered marketer Mocky Khan has been selected to lead the group by other members.

He replaces previous leader Des Healy who stepped down earlier this month because he didn't feel he had the time to dedicate to the job.

Mr Khan represents the Northbourne Ward on the town council and lives in Hagbourne Road.

In July he was elected as one of the few Labour councillors on South Oxfordshire District Council, representing the Didcot South ward.

He is the director of marketing company Fahrenheit 212 and a governor at Willowcroft Community School.
