New Mayor of Worthing elected

Worthing Borough Council are delighted to introduce the new Mayor of Worthing, Cllr Cathy Glynn-Davies.

“It is my aspiration that every person in Worthing has opportunities to grow and develop, and that together as a council we do everything in our power to ensure that opportunities exist.”
