IT’S very likely we don’t truly appreciate what the Mayor of Bolton does for the town during a mayoral year.
Now, the current Mayor, Cllr Lynda Byrne, is inviting youngsters aged 13 – 18 to be involved in the annual Takeover Challenge to find out exactly what it’s like to be the town’s First Citizen.
Most of us really don’t understand the hectic schedule the Mayor has but it’s particularly important for youngsters to see the weekly programme involved.
The winners will assist her in her duties for a day.
Who knows?
It may even inspire them to become local councillors.
