The Mayor Making the day before is always a fun event and I am sure that the new Mayor Paul Baker and Mayoress Sandra will make our town proud over the coming year. But they will have a tough act to follow with England’s youngest Mayor Alex Harman handing over the red robes and chain of office at the tender age of 23.
Welcome also to Worthing’s 14th Youth Mayor Katie Waters, who in a long tradition of Worthing’s excellent youth mayors made a feisty speech to the packed council chamber after receiving her badge of office.
I recorded a short podcast with the outgoing mayor and incoming youth mayor about the importance of the voice of young people and challenged the uninitiated to guess which one was which!
