BANBURY’s new mayor Colin Clarke has pledged to support the town’s charities and good causes.
Mr Clarke began his second term as town mayor at a ceremony at the town hall on Tuesday when he took over from Gordon Ross.
Mr Clarke, previously town mayor in 2010/2011, said: “I didn’t expect to get a second year in office but the opportunity has come along and I am very happy to accept the honour.
“We all know how much good work – often unrewarded good work – goes on within our many charitable organisations and community groups, and I will make every effort to support these good causes.”
The new deputy mayor is Shaida Hussain.
