Mayor’s Report 

“Since the last Town Council meeting, I have attended the following events:

• 23^rd September – the installation of Reverend Luck Maguire as the new Vicar at St John the Evangelist Church was held at the Church in Highbridge. It was a lovely service and it was nice to be a part of his welcome to the parish
