Mayor's Diary
This week has revolved around St George, whose day it was on April 23. Appropriately, that evening I attended a special service at St George’s Church, Barbourne, at which Bishop John Inge gave the sermon.

Mayor's Diary
I started the week by welcoming our new bishop Dr John Inge to the parlour. Just 48 hours earlier he had been resplendent in his formal robes and mitre at the formal enthronement ceremony in the cathedral but for this visit, as part of his induction to city life, it was more his regular daywear.

Twenty-five years is a long time these days to remain with one employer, but last week three of the city council’s staff, Ivor Bishop, Neil Bushell and Wendy Cash, achieved that accolade.
