\"\"<\/a>It has been a busy month for our Mayor and his newly appointed Chaplain.<\/p>\n

Following an elected year swallowed by Covid in 2020, Councillor Garry Perkins has been re-elected for a further term and has been busy making up for lost time.<\/p>\n

Pictured below is Councillor Perkins, supported by his wife Abnet, at the opening of the Annual Friends of Christ Church Christmas Market. Also pictured is Caroline Pitt, Chair of the Friends, F. Christmas and Rev’d Canon Simon Stevenette, the Mayor’s chaplain.<\/p>\n

The Market was a great success and, although slightly scaled down this year, enabled more than 20 local charities to promote their work and fundraise for their causes, as well as providing a great day out, and taster for Christmas, for many local families.<\/p>\n

Simon and the Mayor also attended the Remembrance Ceremony at the Cenotaph with the Bishop of Swindon.<\/p>\n<\/div>
