New Mayor Installed

Hertford's new Mayor Sally Newton was installed at a ceremony at Hertford Castle yesterday evening.

The Mayor represents the town at civic occasions, as well as at events held by the town's schools, clubs and charitable organisations.

Each year the Mayor of Hertford Appeal Fund raises money for one or two charities chosen by the Mayor each year. Money is raised for the fund during the course of the Mayoral year and divided between the charities at the end. Councillor Newton has chosen Herts Aid and Mind in Mid Herts for her charities for 2011/12.
