A Mayor For Silverton ?.

Its all the rage now for towns and cities to have an elected mayor. London of course, has had two very high profile mayors in Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson and I dont see why Silverton should be left behind. Once our poll finishes on the travellers issue I shall be starting one to see who would be the best candidate for this important position in the life of our village. Perhaps we shall see a flood of nominations for Donald Brady, or possibly Robert Vanneck. Perhaps Stan Chilcott mbe will have his supporters and I dont doubt that the Dave Haggett fan club will be clamouring to get their man in. Maybe we should break the mould and go for a woman ?. I am sure that many of our prominent village women residents will have their supporters.

Voting opens on April 6th. Nominations to the comments box.

If Robert Vanneck was mayor, would that legitimise the village scrapyard?

I don't know about having a mayor, but what about a cultural diversity officer?
